What did you do in the reloading room today?

Seems a tad slow for a 22" barrel, I think you should be able to get to 2900 no problem with the right powder.
Im using 54.5 grains of H1000 without pressure and great accuracy. I'm probably not going to mess with it anymore this fall other than getting some more rounds down range to see if the barrel speeds up. Next spring I may do some more experimenting.

Let me know what you find. I ran 2thou neck tension on virgin alpha brass and groups were stupid. Trying to decide if I want to tinker or just put 100 through it and have fun.
Confirmed today there is no tangible difference with this load between once fired and virgin.
Here's the numbers and group at distance Screenshot_20241009-193048_ShotView.jpg20241009_173130.jpg
 
Loaded up some cast loads to test in the '06

Got 10 rounds of 6.5 PRC (59.3 565) and 10 rounds of 300 WSM (64.5 h4350) loaded. Headed to the range after a couple of meetings to see how they perform.
 
Over the past few sessions I've done mostly 22 ARC stuff. Actually sorted a box of 75gr ELD-Ms since loading them to mag length resulted in approximately half of the 10 being over 2.260". That was before measuring to the lands, just trying to set them at mag length. After measuring, and then figuring out how far to set back the longest bullets to Hornady's length of 2.250", I figured out that I'm jumping about .065" to the lands.

Today loaded up 10 of the ELD-Ms half a grain under max of Accurate 2520 to test. Also loaded 5 each of 75gr BTHP match bullets, at two different charges of IMR 8208XBR to test. I've only got a pound of that, should have bought more when it was in stock. But still want to try it out and see.

I've also really been contemplating picking up a MEC Jr kit and dive into reloading for shotguns....

Would like to hear how those 75 bthps do….

And what COL did you land on with those?
