[CADDIE5]

Any 600yd midrange Hornady 80 Eldm ftr loads for Barnard bolt 223rem wylde chamber 26"bbl 8twist. Jump .020? Accuracy nodes? Or do I need my Brux 30" 7 twist bbl chambered to use these bullets? Powders on hand Varget, xbr8208, imr4895, re15, imr4064. Winchester or Lapua brass and Wolf srm primers. Thanks.

I jumped them .025. My load was 25.0 varget in Lapua cases BR-4 primers. I started at 2.475 and ended at 2.525 as i chased the lands.

Varget to about 2950 fps should put you in the running. JMHO

What is your fps for the load? Is this a 26" or 30" barrel? What twist barrel? What is your ES/SD? Thanks David. My barrel is 26"bbl 1-8 twist with Wylde chamber. I loaded 23.5, 23.8, 24.1, and 24.4 gn Varget. Jump of .054 with 24.1 Varget gave me 2797 avg es=28, SD 8.9 .Same load but .021 jump gave 2799 avg ES=48 SD 16.4 I tried .054 jump and .021 jump on the loads. Each .3gn Varget increase gave me 36fps. Think I can safely go next to 24.7 and 25 gn Varget to add to my excel spreadsheet and compare 10 shot test groups at 300 yds.Heavy mirage today. Not sure if barrel likes HOR 80 ELDM with 8 twist bbl, will do the next 2 loads and see if any improvement in es/sd and group size if not will retest when I have the Brux 7 twist 30" hvy palma bbl put on this winter. Thanks,for everyones reply. Steve
