First time reloader... I have been hoarding components for 4-5 years now and finally got to put it all together over the weekend.
Rifle is a Tikka with 18" PBB 7.5Twist Barrel
Federal 210 Primer
140 ELDM
2.90" OAL
H1000 Powder
I worked up 3 shots from 56.5, 57, and 57.5
(Center 56.5, Bottom Left 57, Bottom Right 57.5)
57.5 - (2712, 2706, 2719)

Overall I am more than happy with the group size, but was a little disappointed in velocity as I was hoping for closer to 2800 FPS.
Hornady says book max is around 59 grains of H1000 with 140s, so I think I will load up 58 and 58.5 and see how it shakes out... and also hope the barrel speeds up some in the process.
