Good day at the range. Not much to say about performance at this stage other than it appears to work. No velocity data, battery I brought with me for the chronograph was dead. Anyway, load development shouldn't be too difficult.

Rifle shows no obvious copper fouling with 22 rounds down the bore, powder fouling appears about what I would expect to see using XBR. Not very dirty in comparison with H4895 which I have always thought is filthy.

Temp was about 50F during this 100 round robin, there are NO pressure signs on any cases. Not sure how much further I can go with it to find max but what I've already fired shows enough to be workable without wearing out brass.

Looks good so far, we'll see how it does long term for temp swings and such. Would love to get some velocity readings on the 45.4 grain region, as I know I can get 2800 fps with XBR in this 19" barrel.
