Tikka Hunter 6.5x55, 143 ELD-X and StaBall. I actually broke 2900 fps, but the group sizes sucked. It's hard to keep a group together anyway with a range full of muzzle brakes rattling my teeth constantly. I'll have to fine-tune the spot between 46 and 47 grains. A mule deer will die from this combo this year.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

If you look at the 47 grain target, you'll see a .30 cal hole mixed in my group. That's because public range.

What was the velocity in the 45-46 range? Mid 2600s Did you get a chance to run any of the 140 Amax across the chrony? I know the 4350 didn’t do well past that. Then again you’re running a slightly slower powder so who knows.

Even if I was, you can use my range to not put up with the B.S.

The ones you included with the rifle. Loaded with H4350. Shot them over a Labradar. They were very accurate, but I dont think that H4350 was fast enough to get the velocity where he wanted it to be.

Good deal, I was looking back trying to find the old velocities but have yet to do so.

“It's hard to keep a group together anyway with a range full of muzzle brakes rattling my teeth constantly.”
Try it at Gun Experience of Texas, (new place in Grapevine), while some jerkrod is cranking out 50-100 rounds from a rented Gatling Gun next to you!
