Bobby...was nosing around looking for some other data i had saved some time ago, and stumbled onto i had stashed back at some point...just noticed it had a wee bit of 270jdj data:

Thanks! I appreciate it! I was actually shooting it at 200 yards today after tweaking my primary load just a bit.

Both groups were impressive. The point-of-impact was about 3/4" high, but I will leave it that way as there was a bit of a tailwind this morning. I suspect on a calm day -- if we ever have one of those lol -- it will be dead-on.

This is my 5th Van Horn barrel, and each one has shown exceptional accuracy. Some of you may remember the full-bull Encore barrel I had in 6.5x55 as I used to post about it during the early days of SP. I routinely shot that DVH work of art at 300 yards, and it would keep three shots in an inch or less with monotonous regularity. It shot everything well, but Re-22 and the 140 grain Sierra GK was simply magical in that barrel.

Here's one of the 200 yard groups from today:

Nice!! I can usually count on 100 yard groups looking like that with the proper loads through a few different Contender set-ups but I don't think I've ever managed that nice a group at 200. :)

Got a few loaded this evening. The sight of these makes me smile. But I'd smile more if I could send one into the direction of a big hog.
