I posted this data in another section of the forum, a little late to this thread, but thought since the question of lead-free came up I'd post it here too. Cool thing about this load is it works in both my AR and my Rem 700. I haven't Chron'd it, but suspect it's 3700 fps+. It's .5 gr below book max.

40 gr Nosler BT Lead-Free
27.5 gr Benchmark
Winchester Case
WSR Primer
COAL= 2.313
CBTO= 1.918

1 ragged hole in my AR-15 @ 100 yards
.52 inch with my Rem 700 @ 100 yards

I noticed it may not fit in some AR mags, too long. I've shot coyotes with this load. All deader than last year's romance.

I believe more states will be forced to go non-lead in the future. I'm starting to see and hear rumblings of this in NY State, (where I deer hunt most years). Some are convinced that lead must come out of the environment.


Liars should have good memories.
