I know this is a joke, but yet so true lol!
@Kimber.204 , give the shop a call. They might not even have it up yet. The official release was at the GAP Grind this past weekend. George got some to me quick because we wanted to give it a real run this next weekend at a match in Bakersfield. Dan is going to run it and see what happens.
So far the numbers are freaking great. Single digit SDs and ESs.

Brass is only one of the many factors that go into getting single digits SDs and ESs. Unless shooting ELR, those tiny speed spreads aren't nearly as important as one might think.
I have a couple rifles that get single digit SD/ES with junky old Remington and Winchester brass (prepped in every way), then other rifles that can or have done it with Lapua brass. Then another rifle that shoots with 23 fps ES on a regular basis using Lapua brass BUT exhibits much less vertical dispersion than all the rest at long range. Go figure...

Current round count log.
Did an accuracy test @ 1515 rounds this past Saturday. With a lil more throat erosion, I gave the DTACs another shot and found a nice load I will verify next range session. 112s are still hammering for me as well.
Fired 3, wind picked up. Dialed in .1 left, fired two more.
4 more of the same load above.
