[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1329187, member: 13833"] I went back out today to continue the reduced load testing. I thought since Varget worked pretty well I would go ahead with the H4895 and see what that would do. I loaded a few rounds to chrono starting at 40 and up to 49. I was hoping for around 2800' with the 40 gr. load and actually got 2790'. I shot up to 48 grs. and got 3180 with a pretty good x mark so did not shoot the 49 gr. load. I loaded 3 different loads for group all with the 130 ELDM at a coal of 2.770" which seemed to be working. I selected these loads because I had a request for something in the 2800-2900' range with low recoil. Boy did I get it! The following pics are of the 3 loads. Mirage was really increasing off the barrel heat as I shot, so dipped into the bag of tricks with some freezer paper taped over the barrel. BIG difference from group 2 to 3. These loads were a real pussycat to shoot! VERY low recoil! This High Country Rifle build by Rhian REALLY SHOOTS! [/QUOTE]
