Brass seems to be holding up well. A 3" zero at 100 gives a pretty useful "hold on hair" trajectory out a fair ways with those velocities. Planning to fill my antelope tag with the Sierra.


I have been playing with that powder in my Ackley Whelen, and I worked up to 68grns so far with the Speer 250, and in my 22" barrel my Chrono said 2747! I will compare against another chronograph to confirm. I have seen no pressure signs and groups are slightly under 1".
