TRG load development results

[280 AI]

I recently bought a new TRG 42 in .338 Lapua and began trying different handloads. It didn't take long to find the perfect one.

There are a total of 4 shots here and this was done @ 200 yrds. First shot was left so I moved 1 click right and fired the last three shots. This group measured .162"!(3 shot group)

That's a good load. My TRG42 loves it as well. Nice milder load.

Just went to the range and mv was right around 2804 fps. I fired 8 rounds starting with a clean cold bore and these were the numbers in order: 2807,  2777,  2789,  2801,  2801,  2824,  2807,  2807. Temperature: 99, humidity: 35%, pres: 29.92, alt: 175 ft.

Re: TRG load development results

What vith powder are you using? you need to get a chronograph to measure muzzle velocity. The 250 sierra will defiantly get you out to 1000 yards with ease.
