Hornady 153 A-Tips with H4350 in 6.5 CM

So I got these to do some testing as I was developing some loads for another bullet. So far I am shocked with the results..

I didn't even shoot these for accuracy just to get initial powder / velocity correlations.

Lapua Virgin Brass (Small) - 24" Cadex Barrel
CCI 450 Primers
H4350 Powder
330 Yards
0.015-0.017 Off the LANDS loaded to about 2.90 OAL

The group in total is 0.5 MOA (8 shots) with charge weights from 40.7 to 41.5. If you take 40.7 and 41.0 (4 shots total) its 0.22 MOA at 330 Yards.

Definitely have to load up some more around 41.0 and try. Clearly the Barrel likes these. Made my Lapua 144s showing 0.5MOA look horrible. LOL
