No. My 195 Gr Berger load shoots so good that I'm not even going to bother on this barrels life.
So far, 100% confidence in them.
Remember what barrel length this was?Shot the 168 Gr Longrange accubonds today with RL23. Did a ladder test with them and got all the way up to 66 Gr of RL23 for 3233 FPS. The pressure was too high for that load though but 65 Gr came out at 3170 FPS and no pressure there. I found a flat spot in velocity at 63.5-64 gr which averaged around 3120 FPS. I am liking the RL23 so far.
That's looks like a better group than 1.882. Opposite edges gives you true center to centerWell got my load down for the 155 Gr Edge TLR. Went with 61 Gr of RL17 seated .010" off the rifling. Going an average of 3240 FPS with an ES of 10. Below is the three shot group at 500 yards. Measured 1.882". I will be doing some more shooting to make sure this load is legitimate but I think we have a winner!
