For comparison, here's three 3-shot groups I shot with Remington factory 100gr SP loads

Group 1
Avg. = 2608 fps
S.D. = 25.5
E.S. = 54.0
Group Size = 1.75"

Group 2
Avg. = 2584 fps
S.D. = 11.0
E.S. = 27.0
Group Size = 1.875"

Group 3
Avg. = 2630 fps
S.D. = 7.8
E.S. = 17.0
Group Size = 1.25"


Getting back to handloads, I loaded up another 12 rounds = six each at 44.0 and 44.2gr of H4350 with the 110gr Accubond and BR2 primer

44.0gr Group 1
Avg. = 2935 fps
S.D. = 15.6
E.S. = 38.0
Group Size = 1.375"

44.0gr Group 2
Avg. = 2935 fps
S.D. = 16.1
E.S. = 39.0
Group Size = 1.25"

44.2gr Group 1
Avg. = 2961 fps
S.D. = 9.3
E.S. = 21.0
Group Size = 1"

44.2gr Group 2
Avg. = 2962 fps
S.D. = 9.0
E.S. = 22.0
Group Size = 0.875"


No pressure signs as of yet in terms of cratering, ejector marks or hard bolt lift, but I'm right at about 0.0005" expansion at the web of the case. Have 14 fire-formed cases yet that still need a full tilt load through them so I've loaded seven of them up with 44.2gr to see if they stay consistent as the last six, and the other seven are loaded with 44.4gr just to see if the ES and SD will drop any or if this as good as it's going to get with this powder.

I also have some 85gr Noslers loaded atop 40.6gr of Varget just to see what kind of speed I can get from them and how they group. I'm going to guess somewhere around 3,200fps since Sierra was getting 3,300 from a 26" pipe.
