In February I re-barreled a 350L build looking to get a precision-ish rifle and hand load worked up. With a lot of different powder, bullets and primers spent, I was able to work out a good match load with the 69gr smk, the barrel doesn’t like 77’s at all. Best I got out of my 69gr was just shy of 0.50 and average is around 0.70. I’m using Tac and they’re going about 2877 fps with an SD of 7.9.
Pictures are from groups are at 200 yards. I took it out to an AR “long distance course” and it was an easy day out to 600 yards, consistent 6” groups out to 500 after that I was happy just to ring steel.
