I just loaded some with H4350, starting load was 43.2 loaded to 2.820” out of my 6.5 SLR. The first load was a 1/4 group and the worst was 5/8” @ 43.6, I am shooting a Bartlein 1-9 to 1-7 gain twist. I am going to load some more and shoot at distance.

Thats good to know. I've read a lot of good about it. It definitely meters really well.
Meters Like a champ! Wish I had more!
Going to try these today in my RPR with a Krieger/Criterion pre-fit. COAL is 2.955 touching the lanes, 45.6gr of 7828SSC, MV 2797, and feeds great out of a KRG AICS magazine (at least .10" too long for Magpul mags). I've not seen many folks saying that they seat these touching the lands.
This is a new barrel with only 150 rounds through it, but got 3 into .197" and 5 into 4.75" at 1000 yards the other day (under ideal conditions - also my personal best 1000 yard groups), with 147 ELDMs and 7828SSC. After the first 100 rounds and 4 cleanings, that barrel is really showing what it can do.

You seated these on the lands correct? I have the same barrel and loaded up a couple test 30thou off to 70thou off in 10thou inc, gonna see what they do tomorrow if they suck gonna try seating closer
Sub moa @ around .070 off lands
Don’t stop there unless you are below SAAMI length. Mine kept improving all the way to 1.25 off.
1.25 or .125 off?
I took these to the range last Friday night. Conditions were nearly perfect. I was able to print a 5-shot group at 600 yards shown below (sub 3/4 MOA). If you throw out the flyer that I called, the group is sub-quarter-MOA. I was unable to print a particularly good group with these at 1000 on the same day, but I can't blame that on the bullet. I feel they have lots of potential. Come-up at 1000 was about 26MOA, and at 600 it was about 12MOA. This is the 145 Match Burner at 2797fps, seated at 2.955 touching the lands.
Yes.
