I have a bunch of Speer 150s that I figure might expand at lower x39 velocities. 👍

Yeah I'll definitely share the results when I get them on paper.

Thermometer just bumped to 100F a couple minutes ago.


The range is kind of a double-edge sword. Nice facility, nice benches, target lines etc......but there has to be more control to keep it safe.


Shot the load with the 180gr PSPCL at 2100 fps today.

Results were not good. About 4 MOA at 100 yards.

I shot the first group of five shots and had some hope. Four were in 1.5" with a flyer opening the group to 4".

I adjusted the scope 2 moa left, and 2 moa up. Fired the second group and it was a loose 4" group also.

First group was triangles, Second group was circles.
