mike33,

I just started to work up a load for the 95 grain VLD's

The best load I've found to this point ( 1/2" ) at 100 is ...

46.1 grains H4350
Lapua brass
CCI large rilfe primers

80 thou. off the lands

Have you chronographed it yet? Keep me posted how it works.

No chronograph data yet. Best guess is between 2700 and 2800 ft/sec.

I want to try some re-17 to see if I can get the velocity up and keep the accuracy.

Mike33 , How'd it shoot ?

I spent Saturday chasing Ground hogs.

Less than 1/4" at 100 yards. I had to switch from Vit N560 to something because the Vit is impossible to find. I got tighter groups and more velocity with the 7828.

Okey, 43.0 grains H-414 Vel. 3015 1/2" group. 44 grains vel. 3100 but group was 1" 2 in 1 out, want to re try it. I loaded some more of both to re test but wind is pretty bad here. I tried IMR 4350 on sat. 2 in 1 out highest vel around 2950. Reloader 19 43 and 44 grains vel to slow around 2700-2800 i guess it was to slow of burning powder and not enough in it. I will keep posting after next time to range, hoping the wind will quit.
