[Formidilosus]

2 holes or 1?

All exited.

If only these were available, outside of just seconds, to us regular people.

Put up a wtb ad. I'd bet there are some people who wouldn't mind selling what they bought due to twist requirements or not meeting their needs in other ways.

Going back out in the morning with these. Don’t know what I expect but hopefully better than the last go round! I’ll post results later tomorrow.

Nothing good to report. As I suspected at my elevation the 8twist isn’t enough for these at 2900fps. I will be setting them aside for another project with a faster twist.

I’d kind of put these 106 2nds on the back burner but loaded 5 to try this weekend with some other stuff. Wish I woulda loaded more, might have to give them some more time now!

Have you had pretty good luck with that in N555 in 6CM. I’ve never messed with it but wondered how compared to H4350?

It’s a good option for sure. Takes a little more powder to hit pressure, should get a little more velocity. Only negative I’ve seen thus far is it seems to be a little dirtier.

I told my buddy to order these and he did. Well he ended up trying the same load with these 106’s as he did with another bullet that worked well in his gun. The first shot on the left is the first shot out of that gun in a few years then his next 9 are the group on the right. He’s definitely a better shot than me but cannot argue with that…

You can't post a Pic like that without some load data!

It’s just a 6 SLR with 47gr of h1000 with Winchester brass. Not sure on length or anything at the moment. Pretty mild load.

What twist rate were you running? Looks pretty promising

It is good to see that these will group well. I only shoot factory, and the Hornady 6ARC TAP loads have grouped quite poorly compared to their ELD-M, -X and Black in all three of the barrels I’ve shot them through.

I just started my dummy to throat the 6x284. This should be fun. That's a 300wsm and 243 for comparison.

 

[khuber84]

I have a new 22" 7.5tw 4gr 237 bore ace 6cm barrel coming for my tl3. I'll be running these with H4350 or N555 from 10k to 100k off in in 5k 5 shot steps for break in, find the best jump node, once barrels broke in, I'll step on the gas with Rl26 and see how it does with the ultra7 attached. Maybe my 700sa rokstok will be done soon(no paint job) to drop this into.

Damn nice!

I have 800 of these I’d be willing to let go for what they cost me.

I have enough hybrids now to not justify messing with other bullets.

I have a muller and bart 7tw in the mail.....but time is killing me from spinning them up.

I finally got the Mullerworks spun up. I have 28 rounds down the tube now. The first few to get sighted and these 5rd groups looking at how seating matters.

These are from a 6XC chamber and just chose 39.5grs of 4350 and rocked on. The dots are 1/2".

I think these will come around nicely.
