I think velocity’s were right around the same as my h4350 load. Factory barrel cut at 16” 2760fps
I stuck with h4350 because I had more of it and accuracy was the same.
Maybe Hornadys info is correct but I felt weird about adding more powder when I was already compressed.
I shot an antelope buck, a mule deer and 2 whitetails with 108 Eldm’s out of my 16” tikka 1:8 243 win this year.
Muzzle velocity: 2760
The antelope was 540 yards, shot was behind shoulder in lungs. 4-5” exit hole. 1940ish impact velocity
Mule deer was 720 yards, shot was tucked behind...
Watched a video from “reloading weatherby” on YouTube and he was getting some crazy velocities with n570 and Berger 170’s with a 26 inch tube. Not a hole lot of info on hand load velocities out there
20 inch 1:7 twist barrel
Staball HD
170 nosler bt
2870 average
I feel like I can still step on the gas with this load.
Would like to see what I can do with the Berger 170’s.
For reference the 175 factory load is shooting mid 2700’s out of this gun
It is as awesome as you imagined. I had to do a little trimming in front of the recoil lug to get my action to seat on the recoil lug but I've put a couple hundred rounds on it so far. In everyway it's better than any other stock I have used.
