New lightweight hunter project started

[mi223]

That is great. I didn't figure you could push a 150 that fast from a 20in barrel

Yup its a stout load no doubt but no signs of pressure.

.7 grouping with the 150eldx at about 2840ish -- still no indication of overpressure but its gotta be close......

.4 grouping with same at about 2745ish ( basically doing 24" 7-08 velocity but with 20" barrel )

 

[granite wagon]

And the final data ..

.6 grouping with the 145LRX at about 2855ish

sub .4 grouping with same at about 2775ish

Varget & RL15 both work very good

139SST, 145LRX, 150Partition & 150ELDX all perform way good enough that I would hunt with any of em but the barrel clearly likes the 145LRX & 150ELDX the best

Finally got around to trying out the Berger 150 classic in this thing..

It likes it ok .. averaging high .3 / low .4 & much more velocity than I thought it would get.

Ill update on game performance when meat is on the dirt
