I went thru their full load development with a 25-06 shooting 133gr. Berger Elite Hunters and ended up with <.75 consistent groups. Found optimal powder charge in first box then seating depth at that charge with the second. I had a magazine length restriction so could not get out to start at .002" off lands - I had one group of 5 they sent that I had to single feed as they were just beyond my mag length and didn't shoot that great anyway. After dialing powder then length I tightened up even more when I tuned with my Cortina tuner brake dealy bob. I was pretty happy with it...then I chono'd the next box to dial some down range stuff and the SD's were horrible which surprised me and gave me pause...I'm not a long range guy but does seem like it should have been more consistent.
I bought a box of the 133gr Berger Elites from Hendershots, did not give them any specs or anything just ordered them. They shot just as good and had single digit SD's so I shot a few boxes of them with some really good groups. I just started loading my own, shooting 125gr Hammer HHT's and had .8 group on the first test batch of 10 I shot and SD 8, just shy 3000fps. I'll keep playing with them.
Sooo, I thought the Copper Creek stuff shot great at 100yds and was a fun, although costly process. Surprised at the velocity differences. Maybe it would still shoot great down range...maybe not.
