87 2820
89 2855....started using little Sagebrush drop tube
91 2940
92 2992....now were gettin' somewhere
93 3046....Damn! still no high pressure signs
94 3078....unreal
95 3110....I quit, how dead does it need to be
All loads fell from chamber in my rifle, absolutely no signs of excessive pressure.
Loaded three rounds @95 gns. and a COL of 3.590, shot from bags in a variable to nine mph wind out of the SSW, POA was dew North, group went 1.31, unreal accuracy and speed, it will be a sub" load in calm conditions
I believe this powder will be absolute dynamite w/ 300 gn bullets as well as the new .375 cal. 250 gn. TTSX's, The 250 gn. TTSX'x @3250...... how bout that for an elk/moose/big bear load?
Be safe all, and hang on!!
