Dang that’s impressive! Where I hunt that’s a 10mph gun out to 500 yards and is still over 1800fps past 1000. After I shoot my current barrel out with 109s I’ll be switching over to these.
My AnTi X action will create slight ejector marks even on light loads or factory ammo. In fact the 108 ELD-M factory was giving me heavy-ish bolt lift yesterday. My load of 43.5 of H4350 only gives slight ejector marks and no sign of heavy bolt lift like the factory ammo was. Shooting in 65-70 degree temps, which is the warmest I’ll ever be using this load and rifle in.
We’ll see next Thursday morning when I smoke a deer with one on Kodiak.
@wind gypsy ? My friend has 20" 7tw 6cm with factory getting 2792. I have a 24" 7tw 6cm getting 2870. Id guess you'd be in the ballpark of 2720 off our velocities Ours seems slow tho but we are on our first box of ammo maybe these will speed up? I'll try another lot next time. PVA prefits for Tikka.
I have an ace barrel 1:7.5 tw. It is cut barrel plus muzzle device is at 18” total and I am getting 2750 avg with factory eldm first 25 rounds.
i tried a new lot and cleaned with patches and solvent (1st cleaning) and im at 2970 now which what i expected . I dont know if it was the new lot or the cleaning but its improved. the marring on the bullets when cycling disappeared too after the cleaning. it shoots fine too.
