I am wondering if your speed is low???



Well the velocity could be low, but I plugged in my numbers into a trajectory program for 3600fps and they match my reticle out to 500yds so far. So I would guess my velocity is correct. In Nosler #6 H414 beat 4350 speeds, but to be honest IMR 4530 with the 80gr BTs gave me better groups. So I'll try IMR 4350 with my next batch of 70 BTs. I save the H4350 for my 30-06, with powder being such as it is. The bummer is that I traded for this rifle since it shot really well. It's a long action and heavy so it's not my ideal 243, but damn it's a shooter. And then I got 500 70BTs seconds and 200 80BTs. I haven't shot anything with the 80BTs yet, maybe that's my next step. It's loaded with max W760 load. Max loads have been the trend I'm following with this rifle LOL.
