[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2298955, member: 13732"] Got some the 73AH to try in my 22" 8tw creed. Originally tried N555 and never got the speeds I was looking for, after talking with Dallas Hardaway who runs this bullet in an 8tw, he suggest rl26. So gave that a whirl. 47.6gr was as much I could get into lapua brass and it was running 3740fps but didn't shoot too well, 3" @ 400y, 47.3gr was 2". After getting home from the range I loaded up 3 more @ 47gr seated 10k off lands. Shot them at 120y in the pasture, and I thought I missed the paper on shots 2 and 3. But it's all in one hole running 3696fps avg with 15es, coal is 2.684 as I have a out 130k freebore in this chamber. Velocity was 3693,3696,3708. Will try 46.9gr as well and see if it holds a lil better spread. Next step is to test at distance and validate drops prior to antelope opener next weekend.
