Ramshot Grand Test Day

Back from the range! Ramshot Grand testing did not go as I had hoped. Surprising, right off the bat as my first shot came in at over 3100 fps! I was ready to get the show on the road after that first shot - excited about the possiblilties!

Downhill from there though... for me anyway. Second shot dropped to just over 3000 fps but the rest went right back up over 3100 fps. However, pressure signs struck. I had three, out of six shots, with heavy bolt and brass imprint.

Mind you, Hodgdon listed the load date as:
1717861171087.png

I began my load test at 72.0 and increased in 0.5 grain increments up to 74.5. Components are Peterson Brass (new), 215GM magnum primer, 150 TTSX. Rifle is a Ridgeline FFT. I also had a suppressor attached.

I did not fire my test rounds beyond the 72.5 load. Three shots on that load went as follows: 3132, 3141, and 3163 fps. That speed is incredible to me. But the pressure I did not like. Grouping was ok and could be worked on... but I already have a 1/2 inch group at 100 yards using RE22 - at 3000 fps. Don't know that RS Grand is useful for me.

For now, I plan to put RS Grand on a shelf and come back to later... maybe. Hope it works for you!
