    500gr FP/XTP over 80gr RL7

    2215 High
    2171 Low
    2190 Avg.
    ES 44
    SD 14

    Wide spread on the ES? Yep, just a little too hot for the primers. 4 of 9 pierced. Otherwise I am sure RL7 can do much better ES wise at least. I do need to profile or shim the firing pin but I digress 2150-ish is probably where my high node will be. Will do full workup and post detailed result when done.

    I do want to give the tac a try with these before I shoot em all up. Then its all about better bullets some 4198 and 322 for some serious hunting loads.


    Its from the old 50 B&M loads 2013. Same bullet. Helps keep things in perspective!
