Here’s the previous thread

http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthrea...revolution

Now for some new data.

Lever/3x fired Horn Brass/ 205 AR-M primers
Autotrickeler to within .02 of desired charge weight
1.768” BTO
-.020 jump

Low 90f/ sea Level
Labradar

3 shot groups .3 increments

Grns/ FPS / ES / SD

32.1 /2665/ 27/ 15

32.4/2662/15/7.4

32.7/2675/29/14.7

33.0/2703//22/11

33.3/2722/3/1.7

These final two shots are single rounds only, looking for the edge of pressure.

33.6/2755

33.9/ Labradar error.

Both shots were touching and both had the first hint of an ejector mark! My line in the sand.


Groups range for. .7 -1.1 MOA. I chose the 2nd group as the winner. Groups 1,2 3 all had the same POI. If you superimposed all 3 groups you’d have 9 shots in a nice concentric 1 MOA group. So, an accuracy node, coinciding with a POI node along with a powder node that only varied 10 FPS across .6 of a grain. I should go buy a lottery ticket! Rolleyes And, I’m over a grain below we’re I saw any hint of pressure. The 2nd group was only .8 MOA but I got a ton of seating depth length to monkey with. I’m very satisfied with how it went.


Spoiler alert!

Also shot the CZ 527 23.5” Sporter with Lever/ Starline/ 205 ARM and 120 Gold Dots! Reached speeds of 2811 fps with NO, and I mean NO signs of pressure. The primers hadn’t even finished flattening out! The brass is still pristine. IDK a what to think? Think there is still a little more room for powder. Anyway, more data to come……
