Anyone try this yet? I can't find any reviews online, only for their 260/6.5/308.

From my experience with the 6.5 I would pick it up if I needed it. Buy a few boxes and give us a review :)

Yea but reviews from YouTube don't always come from a "shooter" it's nice to have a guy that's on the forums do things for us.

My buddy has shot a lot of the 6.5c and said its killer ammo(and that takes a LOT to impress him). I would probably trust the 77g stuff if I was buying factory precision 223 ammo.

Finally got around to buying and shooting this stuff.

My rifle is a 16" BCM SS410 1:8. 2.5-10 Vortex scope. Larue trigger. Bipod and rear bag.

Only had time to shoot three five round groups, two of the three were just over an inch. I realized my bipod was loose, tightened it up and the third group was .778 with a "flier," four of the five were touching.

Unfortunately it doesn't move too quick.

Five shot average of 2453 FPS, ES of 58, SD of 24.

The box advertises 26xx out of a 23" barrel so I don't know why i was surprised.

I had similar result on the chrono, it is a little slow but it appears to be fairly consistent. I just received my Sons of Liberty Gun Works 18" Match Grade rifle, the first 10 rounds I shot out of it were over the Magnetospeed v3, so it might speed up slightly after some more rounds but I got a ten shot avg of 2489 FPS, SD of 14 and ES of 35. I will hopefully get sometime and good weather to shoot groups soon and I will post them.

Hmmm... that's a little slow, but it would probably be fine 500 yards and in. Our house load isn't the hottest load I roll. But it's really consistent.

What is your "house load" these days? I remember reading XBR and H322 (was it?) awhile ago.

Yeah... it's still 21.6-21.8 gr H322 with Tula/wolf primer.

Ran it out to 650 on steel without much issue, it appears to be a very consistent load, albeit a little on the slow side.

That's all you need. Speed is fine, but accuracy is final... or something like that. ;)

Couldn't agree more.
