I might have made a clerical error. The 130 is 44.0, and the 140 was 43.0 on the H4350. But in any case, I like the groups I am getting with hunter for what I want to use it for, so happy with that. Now to go shoot

Ok, went to the range today. Shot the following loads:

• 140 ELDM @ 42.0 RL16, 43.0 H4350, and 46.0 Hunter
• 130 TMK @ 43.0 RL16, 44.0 H4350, and 45.5 Hunter

My new LH 6.5 CM in my XLR Stock. Shot 5 of each, then the other 5 of each. All shot Lefty.

Summary: My 130 TMK over 45.5g Hunter is as good a load as I can shoot. The 140 over H4350 MIGHT be better, as I had a better group because I know I jerked on one (knew it when the shot went off, and verified on video). With that said, while that group was smaller, I like the MR and grouping on the 130 TMK over Hunter. So now I can just load up a bunch and practice. I'll use that in my NRL Hunter even too (since Skills has no Power Factor requirement).

My results:

Actual H4350 Velocity avg was 2920, and RL18 was 2832. I transposed them on the markup.

You’re good to go. Now do a 30 round group for zero.
