Same Rifle, a few questions.

Are you be single loading or have a longer than standard mag to achieve that?
Im at 24.4g with a heavily compressed load to achieve that speed with my 2.307 inch standard mag lenght, hench the above ?
ADI suggests 23.6 as max so wondering how mild is your this load.
ADI info is confusing cause they rate a max of 26g with the 69 match king. Realise they are different weights & type of projectile, but wondering about such a difference.
I'm not saying you are wrong, just trying figure it all out.
For me at standard mag lenght which is 0.065 off lands getting 2694 & brillant SD & ES of 6.4 & 15 and they shoot.
Thinking of playing around with the magazine, reason I ask.
