OP DV_Ramrod Campfire Regular D Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 611	Took the 21” Barrett FC / Nightforce NXS compact / Talley setup out to the range yesterday for the first time. Temp was 95 degrees and rediculously humid. The Hornady 60 grain V-Max’s were loaded to the lands at a CBTO of 2.067 / COAL of 2.462 with Varget and CCI 200’s getting them moving. Only 4 shot groups today because of the heat, with one missing from the starting load due to a chipmunk making his appearance at 100 yards.. I’m looking forward to seeing how Barnes 62 grain TSX/TTSX shoot next! Last edited by DV_Ramrod; 07/04/18.

I started out shooting deer with the 62 tsx and playing with the 75 amax. After shooting a few deer with the amax I stopped switching and just use the amax all the time.

I'm admittedly lazy, & I would stop right on top of the 33.4 load & be very happy........good shooting. 3018 FPS avg at my starting load of 31.3 grains 3405 FPS avg at 33.4 grains with no pressure signs. Very slight ejector swipes, no sticky bolt at 33.7 and 34.0 grains. Those last groups were at an inch or so and I have zero interest pushing to the next node. Last edited by DV_Ramrod; 07/04/18.
