Contact Doug Boyer, He ran them at the 2018 Berger SW Nationals.
Haven't shot at 1K yet. No decent range near me.What was vertical like at 1k yards with 2 and 20 shots.
Still need group testing. Had ammo issues with brass case mouths being trimmed improperly causing some head spacing issues. With the small number of shots, I feel there will be some merit to them. After speaking with others with more experience than me, I think I'll need to sort & batch.How did they print on paper? Encouraging?
Yes I'm running 308 Win long action, detachable mag with 50.8 gr of pp2000mr with Sierra 2231 200 gr. Bullet With a muzzle velocity of 2860 fps. 30" Bartlein 1-8 twist 3.175 COAL about .005 off lands. G7 around .360...just finished it about a month ago. Tried lots of powders like all the usual with the usual accuracy and velocity. Even Hybrid 100V and RL 26...but pp2000mr gave the highest velocity, so far...and accuracy and s/d is good. 50.3 gr might be the best.If it's similar to PP2000MR, 50gr. is no problem, and will get you that MV.

Curious why this powder? I literally know zero people using this for F class competition. Just interested why you chose this powder.
If you shoot loads with those powders where 30 to 40 degree temperature swings are not uncommon throughout the course of a single day's match, combined with the long strings of fire we shoot in F-Class, don't be surprised if the load goes out of tune, and you might even start popping primers in the afternoon.
My data for the bullet was; 1.580" length of bullet in my batch, 2667.3 AVG MV, 84 deg F, 30.01mmHg, 65.9% Hum. 44.20gr Varget (Can't seem to find BTO/COAL measurements now), -.040" Jump, es:22, sd: 8.2 with Labradar. G7BC says: 0.331(Seems a bit low). I wasn't very impressed with the groupings, shelved them for the 200.20x. I'll work on them more in the coming months. I think after reading a lot on here that I need to experiment with seating depth more.10x for sharingWhats the real confirmed g7 bc ? 0.339 like Ned Ludd says or more ?
Before ordering 9tw tube, I wanna table some ballistic data to compare with 200.20..
I may be intere$ted in taking them off your hands. How many do you have?I wish somebody out there just loved this bullet. I have a bunch I'd like to get rid of.
