[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1237552, member: 34818"] Went out this morning and did some testing out st 600 yards. I took the two best loads that I had from 300 yards to test them out. I also loaded up some extra rounds of each to get a velocity average out of my magneto speed. First load at 600 yards: Bullet: 143 gr ELD-X Powder: 63 gr of RL26 Seating depth: .020 off the lands Average velocity: 3211 fps/ES 10 Group: 3.5" Second load at 600 yards: Bullet: 143 gr ELD-X Powder: 62 gr of RL26 Seating depth: .005 off the lands Average velocity: 3160 fps/ES 10 Group: 4.2" There was a little bit of vertical in each but the mirage was something fierce! I believe on a day with hardly any mirage that the groups would shrink some more. I am also going to test some out with H1000 and also test the 140 gr bergers out to see which I like better overall.
