RiggerJJ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 bullet weight? other than velocity, accuracy is most important, did you group these? If its a 168gn bullet, you are on the right track, might be a bit slow, but may have to tweek a bit for accuracy up or down. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron M Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Your ES is very good but the main thing is how did they shoot? Velocity is an important concern when I'm working up a LR load but if it wont shoot .5" or better at 100M I usually scrap it. I am also interested in what bullet weight/manufacturer you are using.

esweber Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 sierra MatchKing 168 And i did not group them yet was wanting to get in the ballpark first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron M Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Depending on what you are looking for exactly I would say you are in the ballpark. Good ES and your velocity is running right about in the middle of the range for this bullet/cartridge/powder combination. I think that your next step if you are happy with the velocity you are getting is to check it for accuracy to make sure that your gun likes it.
