    18" SPR 6.5 Grendel Build Complete w/ Load DATA**

    Re: New 6.5 Grendel Build Complete. (PIC HEAVY) Nothing will fit OVER your Vortex and I forgot to mention that the Cyclone would require you to rethread your barrel to 5/8-24 tpi so in my opinion no go for the Cyclone on your current barrel due to the hassles of setting back losing length and...

    NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR

    Re: NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR I wouldn't say "well", about 1.5 moa of vertical with the XBR @ 43.0. I could be happy with half that. I did run the numbers on Exbal and the calculated elevation is within .25 moa of actual, so velocity is very close on the CED?? Again is all...

    Re: NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR Wow! From the lack of response I guess we are both going to be in the dark a while. I'm guessing it is the new secret recipe nobody wants to discuss!? I have some inside info that this is the new combo for a major manufactures new match...

    Re: Hottest load for .223? Rewind before you take any advice on that ? Accuracy should be your main concern not max velocity. Also to give you any guidance it would be helpful to know some parameters, rifle/chamber/twist...??

    Re: 115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ? I called CED today and of course they were mystified by my complaint. They promised to have their main tech give me a call in the evening but I didn't hear from them, YET. They tried to tell me that my testing process was flawed because, I did not...

    Re: 115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ? Oh man! I know you are all going to wonder about me at this point! I sold my Oehler 35 a few months back thinking it was getting a little old and thinking something newer would be more accurate and bought into the sales hype of the CED M2 with the...
