What did you do at the range today?

The Federal Blue Box load shot about like I expected. 2650 FPS, SD of 16.

The Norma 140-grain loads were decent too. 2572 FPS, SD of 22.5

The Nosler 140-grain Ballustic tips looked like the load until shot #4 (marked as 10 below) blew up the group. 2644 FPS, SD of 26.6. Shot #4 was approximately 53 FPS faster than the average for the rest of this group.

I wanted to see if that “flyer” was on me, so I shot the rest of the box. 2656 FPS, SD of 17.6.

The wind was fierce and ripped the 143-grain ELDX target off the backer before I could go downrange. But it wasn’t spectacular.

The 147-grain ELDM target wasn’t worth recording. Neither of my 6.5 CMs has shot that load worth anything.
