Brought my ULUL barrel along for a few rounds. I was using the 5x microprism, and didn't have bino's or go down range to check accuracy. This is just load data:
87 Vmax, LC Brass, CCI41, LVR, 2.3" OAL - 25gr 2375fps, 25.5gr 2413fps, 26gr 2529fps, 26.5gr 2565fps
87 Vmax, LC Brass, CCI41, 8208xbr, 2.3" OAL - 23gr 2475fps avg (3)
Primers and brass looked great.
I had some issues chambering rounds - I probably need to polish feed ramps a little, but otherwise seemed fine.
Sorry I couldn't get an accuracy check done.
I'm not sure how much more powder can fit at 2.3" OAL. I can go to 2.39" OAL in my filed down TNA lower. I suspect I can push 2600-2650fps with LVR and 87vmax.
This is pushing 400 yards for recommended minimum velocity. This bullet is known to kill down much lower. I will never shoot this gun at an animal past 200 yards given the optic I've chosen, so this is all really academic.
I am not placing a high priority on developing a load with it right now, but I will load some a little hotter and find the limit. Once I do that I'll load 10 with each powder and see what happens.
