    Chargemaster Lite - overthrow issues?

    H4350 was problematic for me, the straw helped. Moving the straw in and out helped quite a bit. Now I get maybe one overthrow out of ten.

    More than one velocity node?

    Well you guys were right about a few things. The barrel has in fact, sped up a little. A very mild load showed 2900 avg for 5 shots, then the chrony went bad. Lol. I'm pretty sure the readings were bad. But the grouping and testing is coming along. Hopefully I'll be done with it by the end of...

    MPA's new "production" class rifle

    Not sure about the availability on the Bergers. I had some stashed that came with my wife's f class rifle that I had never used she shoots Lapua Scenars. It was just a coincidence that I had them and so many. Gotta make it work, for a while anyway. QUOTEE="jhern19, post: 8192089, member...

    MPA's new "production" class rifle

    I've shot Hornady 140 match. (About 1/4 moa for 5 rounds) .272 inches. But discovered I had 600 Berger 140 vlds stashed away so trying to work up a load now. It's a shooter with the right ammo. Used S&B for break-in. It didn't like those at all

    MPA's new "production" class rifle

    Well the PMR came in much earlier than expected. I got it out to the range today for break in. Somehow in all my crap, I don't have a Harris bipod adapter although I own at least 5 Harris bipods! I borrowed one with a rail mount just to make it easier cleaning. It was loose and not the best...
