Thinking of one of these in the future just wondering what powders and
Brass people are running? Have the usual 2217 2225 but
Was wondering about n570 and rl33 or similar?

Im just running 2225 in rem brass and its holding up good at about 2880 fps.
30 inch tube?Quote:

N570 is very good but can be $$$ & hard to get from time to time.
RL33 will give the best/incredible velocity but is extremely thin on the ground at the moment.
I still have 3lbs for testing & there probably won't be any in the country this year, most likely early next year...
Considering it was supposed to be here early this year, when it actually shows up is any ones guess.....:oh noes:
I prefer RP brass.
You only need a 26" barrel to get approx 2800 fps with 2225, keeps them light & compact :cool:
Thanks Greg how do you find the vhitavouri for
Temp sensitivity? And is there much gained over 2225?
Temp is ok, can do funny things in extreme cold, not generally a problem here.
I don't think there is enough gain over 2225 for the cost involved.
RL33 absolutely spanks it in the cases I have compared them in.
Sweet thanks for that bring on rl-33 then :thumbsup:
Absolutely :thumbsup: if/when it gets here......:XD:Quote:

KG can you divulge the stats on that rifle? im in france currently and cannot access details etc
Who said need to single shot a edge? Can't mag feed 4inch and over on rem easy as 150 back mod

Sorry may have got that wrong im not a pro as you know but a more a trigger happy hick, from what I read and online crap seating depth was a hassle if right out for mag feeding, so to buy myself some extra space (room for error) I figured the performance wasn't that much different compared to the practicality for me personallyQuote:

Haven't got enough rounds through the rifle to be confident in the accuracy department with 869. H-1000 just doesn't do very well in any way for this rifle.
Give Retumbo a try as well :)Quote:

I will need to retest all powders used as I've refined my reloading techniques somewhat particularly the shoulder bump... I'm hoping for 3000fps and single digit ES with the 300 Berger OTM, probably unattainable, but the next challenge is to develop my shooting consistency and accuracy. RL33 may just get me there in this rifle--if I can ever get my hands on some. Meanwhile I'm sure liking the road to that goal; might just be better than attainment!
