Ran some ladder tests with my mate today in his howa 24 inch tube
Ar2225 norma brass and federal 215m 2.425 oal about 20-30 thou jump had no way of messureing accuracy so just a swag
Went from 71.5-73.5 working in .5’s

Settled on
72gn at 3002 fps avg es of 10 (39 fps faster than adi got from the test barrel with 1.5gn more powder ��) I think it’s the 1st time ive beaten the manuals listed loads at below max)

Accuracy wasn’t awesome mostly arround 1moa at 100 yards
With 72gn being the stand out at 0.8moa

Could probably get it better with more tweeks but it will have to do for now as he’s flying down to try smoke a thar next week
Will certainly do the job for the distance’s he shoots
