Well, I found a good accuracy node at 77.2 and 77.4 -rl25 so I split and loaded 30 rds at 77.3, I annealed 15 and left 15 at 2nd firing. Both batches averaged 2654 which was about 100fps slower than Hornady data would have them with 24” barrel. I’m shooting about 600’ elevation so that might be the issue - not sure. Still, laser beams as far as accuracy goes which still makes it plenty good for some long range fun. I’ve decided to go with the 245 Berger’s in the prc since it will be used to hunt. I loaded up 40 @ .2 ladder with 212 Hornady and ramshot LRT mainly to fireform but also out of curiosity. Powder is way too slow, last 4 of the string were starting to compress and had a long ways to go to reach max. Horrible shooting on my part trying to get used to this gun, not that I was planning on using but I’m glad I used the cheaper bullets to start. I’m pretty sure I figured it out on the last string but good grief. To make matters worse there was an old timer there blasting 1/2 groups with a 338 RUM lol. What a blast though, I had my Creedmoor set up on another bench and was smacking this 6” blob of steel they have hanging off the 500 meter rail ( got a competition on the 28th). I’ll see how the leupold tracks with the leupold data in a couple weeks and start load work with the Berger’s. Might see if my brother wants to use the weatherby in the hunter class at 600, it might be hard to beat but he’s got a pretty good chance with his 6.5-284 Norma so hard to say. Anyways, sorry so long. It felt so dang good to get a range day with all the crap going on
