So I thought I had a box of whitetails but they were already shot ooops
So I spoke to the owner and he was happy enough for me to load up some eldx and try them.
The results are better than expected, but I must point out I really struggled with the heavy as trigger, I will need to sort that out sooner rather than later.
So I did a ladder starting at 57.5 and made 9 of those to include fouler (not fowler) shots and sighting shots, went up in .3grain increments to 58.4
No pressure signs at all the rifle is a pussycat to shoot.
I have settled on 58.1 for now as I'm off hunting on Tuesday, but there is room to develop as I have no pressure signs even at 58.4 which is above book max.
At 58.4 it looked like it was starting to tighten the grouping again so when I have time I'll try another ladder starting at 58.4 going up .2grain to 58.8g to see if it tightens up again or shows pressure signs.
All projectiles were seated 10 thou off the lands and easily mag fed and ejected even at a ogave length of 72.21mm
