    Trg and 285 amax load work

    Just got my mitts on some of the above and through a few together to get the feel of them.
    93 I was getting a bit of firm bolt lift and quite loose group.
    92 no sign of pressure and showing a fair bit of promise.
    Not much info with the 285 amax and the trg around.
    I am keen to talk to any body going down this track to compare notes.
    I have been using 300 smk but I love my amaxs as I am running them in my other 3 calibres.

    Been shooting the 285 Amax & 300 EHs in an AX this weekend.

    I used 2217 mag length 285s & 2225 with the 300 EHs single feed.

    14-16-17-23mm groups at 217 yards & plenty a bit bigger

    be carefull.................... they are soft
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
