30.5/Hodgdon Max/2.200 COAL
30.6/2896
30.8/2894
Edited: 31.2/ 2952 is the Speer data Max. I cant recall why I stopped with the previous charge weight, instead of going up at least to the Speer max, maybe just a simple oversight, IDK?
No pressure signs on the brass, all the rounds impacted into a less than 2 MOA concentric group

Again, no pressure signs, and all rounds impacted an approximate 2MOA concentric group.
Interesting that there was no speed inversion with this bullet, compared with the TNT data.

Again, no pressure signs, here we saw 2 disitinct vertical groups about an 1 apart. Both groups combined, measured edged to edge, still around 2MOA

More of the same, no pressure signs and another 2 MOA concentric group. I like it!
