    Below are the results of my testing on day 1, Ive loaded 42. 42.7 43 and 43.3 ill try 5 shot strings tomorrow and see how it goes, 43.3 is hot however I did see one max load was 43.9 ….. not sure I trust that. The bottom two strings were with factory ammo and the results of super performance 165 ssts were good, I think 2600 is a good number for me out to 500yds so that is where I would like to be, 42 and 42.7 seemed to be a sweet spot . thanks for the info I very much appreciate it.
