I'm going to borrow my brother's Magnetospeed, especially after today.

Note: these loads are safe in my rifle not yours. Do not exceed published maximums.

I chronoed a few loads this afternoon and got some surprising velocities. I really wanted to see what the 41 gr Varget load did, after such a good group on my last range day. I even shot some existing loads with my other -08 as a control. The chrono averaged 60 to 64 fps faster than previously chronoed loads, even in the old rifle. Ambient temp was close to the same, so it's not due to atmospheric conditions.

The weird thing, the loads were very consistent. I only shot two rounds per string, but extreme spread was 20 fps clear down to 3.

The 41 gr Varget load chronoed at 2842, ES of 15. That's really high, like almost 200 fps high.

43 gr Varget chronoed 2917, ES 20

44 gr Varget was 2953, ES 13

A shorter OAL 44 gr Varget was 2978, ES 13

My control, 51.5 gr BG and 120 NBT chronoed 3115 in a different Superlite, and 3126 in my other T3. In this Superlite it chronoed 3190, ES 4.

My 140 Partition load chronoed 2953, ES 18.

In my main T3 the same load has chronoed 2873. Today this load chronoed 2939, ES 18 in my main T3.

I'll get the Magnetospeed tomorrow.
