Semi custom vs factory

I loaded some H4831SC behind some 162 grain ELDM's in a 7PRC I'm currently breaking in and three shots each of 64, 65, and 65.5 were well under 1 MOA at 100. The best was right at .5". I think it likes the 4831, and I'm interested to see how far I can go. 65.5 was absolutely no sign of pressure, easy bolt lift, no ejector marks, and the primers looked great. Hornady says out of a 24" barrel that should be 3050 plus fps, I'm shooting a 22" barrel. When I find the top, I'll go get my chronograph from my buddy who's using it at the present moment.

Gotta love the Hornady imbelishment. I would be impressed.
