Thanks grayfox. Thats alot of helpful info. I'll definitley need to pick up the handbooks. I actually have some H4895 at my brothers house where I do my loading, but can't remember how much I have. Thats what I use in my 223 with 62 gr hollow points and that sucker is super accurate. Interesting about the 50-100 rd break in. Hopefully as I keep shooting it the groups tighten up some. I tried some of the SST bullet Hornady factory loads, but the group was noticeably larger. I'm not sure if that is just the factiry load or if my barrel doesn't like them as much as the ELD match, but I've heard that is not unusual.
I'm using a pretty decent 2 stage trigger, 4.5# total & I believe 2# 2nd stage, so it shouldn't hold back my groups too much. I was also using a 1-6x vortex scope, so on the the 3" dots I'm aiming at it's harder to "aim small", so maybe I should be pretty happy with my 1 3/8" group.
