[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 314806, member: 8733"] 58 and 60 grains of RE17 both shot sub 2" at 200 yards. 58 grains [IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/154/picture086n.jpg[/IMG] 60 grains [IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6131/picture057h.jpg[/IMG] 62 and 64 grains of RE25 both shot sub 2" at 200 yards. 62 grains [IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/883/picture041d.jpg[/IMG] 64 grains [IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2108/picture006xs.jpg[/IMG] I didn't notice any real pressure signs at the range, but closer inspection when I got home showed that both 60 grains of RE17 and 64 grains of RE25 had very slight cratering of the primers. No sticky bolt lift, however, with either. BUT...... My best group of the day was a my sighter group to get my scope aligned for 200 yards, (I usually keep my zero at 400). The top right shot is the first sighter, the bottom right is the second, and the touching group is actually 6 consecutive shots. Total of eight rounds. The load is H1000 at 65 grains, loaded at 3.020, about 15/1000ths off the lands. [IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6091/picture034hs.jpg[/IMG] I'm done, I'll shoot up the rest of the RE17 and RE25 at 400-500 yards for fun, but H1000 just became the "Go To" powder for me and the 180 Bergers.
