Fun range day today still a lot of work to do.
43.5 grains of staball 6.5 is getting me the speeds I want. 10 more loaded up at 43.5 grains will tell more of the story…

I just had a 1-8 243win put together on a M70 PF. To do this exact thing hoping for 3k fps with a 22in tube, but my first go around will be H4350.
Thanks for posting
