Todays session involved two rifles, two bullets and R-16.
1. 44gr. R-16 with a 130gr. Acc. went 2742fps with a 22" Tikka.

2. Same as above with a 24" barreled Tikka went 2761fps.

3. 43gr. R-16 with a 143ELD-X and a 22" barrel went 2653fps

4. Same as above in a 24" barreled Tikka went 2697fps and a 5 shot group that measured 1/2". OAL was 2.800"

Six range sessions to date consistently show R-16 edges out H4350 in velocity - granted not by much. No downside to accuracy either. An extra grain of H4350 may catch-up but no need to hot rod.
