Yea, we wanted to do some bucket and telephone book test with the two loads to see how they fragged. Mark used a bolt gun for 1,300 yards.
And he can confirm but he used to dump 21.8 grains of H322 with wolf small rifle primers. Any ole brass worked fine typically. But the load shoots moa in 10 different guns. And half inch in several guns. Several guys on the forum have used the load with success.
Primers matter, which sucks because the wolf are not available any more. Tula primers are nice too.

20 inch bolt 2889 fps with a hot load I have on record. I think most recent powder lots were in the 2663 fps range.Quote:

If we want a little hotter load we run XBR and gain some velocity. The load was built for accuracy more than speed. Also, the brass lives to shoot another day.

Surprising the shorty outruns the 16".

Yea, that is impossible. I must have screwed that record up. We had some very hot XBR powder, 1 8lb jug and it screwed us up for a while. those numbers were very near that data so .... I was pulling data off my cell while posting with my cell, No way that happened. I'll fix that tard post.Quote:

I guess its time to take the guns out and chrono our loads again. Our summer numbers are typically a little hotter. And we run through the H322 pretty good. We recently started mixing all the jugs up so we have one consistent lot/load.
But the hot summers still change things for us when it gets about 8,000 degrees.

I'd like to be around 2600 and accurate. I'm finally doing better but like you said, Varget it a pain to load. I'm thinking about switching back to TAC and trying to tweak it til I get some accuracy but I may try a pound of the H322.

Bolt gun. We got it. Finally. I picked the 77s, because I thought they had the best chance. We've tried shooting the 1300 yard gong with .223/5.56 before with no luck at all. I mean... no dirt kick up on the hill or anything.Quote:

That distance is way beyond realistic 5.56 shooting, but I've wanted to accomplish this for some time.
This is the target (white object high on the hill):

My guess is yes. In my unscientific water jug test, the TMK appeared to frag a noticeable amount more than OTM. All of them are well within frag velocities with even a 10.5 barrel.Quote:
