New load, shot 5 rounds one at a time, loaded with 30gr CFE223, 123 SST's(which is the bullet I normally load). All 5 locked the bolt back with "authority" , the brass ejected more briskly landing in the same spot 8-10feet at 4 to 4:30. The recoil was noticeably "healthier" and the accuracy was surprising for a new load/new powder. First round 1/2" low 1/2" right, second one was 1/2" low, 1/4" right. Rounds 3,4, and 5 were an elongated hole dead on the bull. Wind was a bit blustery, left to right. I used the Elander 10 rd mag. The spring has finally relaxed a little, so not as hard to load. I'll continue to use it for a while along with the new load, and see what happens next.
