A bit more load development and shot the PPC today at 200 yards sub inch groups with both 40gn vmax and 55 gn nos pretty happy then Rod Davis turned up and was kind enough to put a couple over his chrony 40gn doing 3840 seem to have plenty more to go as well 55gn doing 3400 just as easy no signs of pressure.
