Hi,
I am posting my loads shot at 200m (219 Yards) - This is the distance I Like to develop.
I am a bit baffled, With 178gr Hornady I shoot the same distance a tight group - shots cutting @ 2602fps (Indicated as Test on photo)
Rifle = Sig Saur 100 Field Shoot.
Twist = 1:11
Barrel = 24"Bull Barrel with a Muzzle Break,
178gr ELD-X load (VihtaVuori 41.5gr N540) COL.71mm(2.795 Inches), CCI200 Primers, Lapua Cases

New:
175gr Lapua OTM MaxRT Bullets
VihtaVuori N540 (Grains indicated on Picture)
CCI200 Primers
Speed indicated on pictures.

Please advice on the way forward....
Was hoping for 2600fps, but nodes are opening up.

I want to shoot more acuratly at 1mile.
The ELD-X does it, but not that great at that distance
