Good day to shoot so I shot all day. He is the chronograph data. I shoot an Omega w/thumbhole laminate stock (Free Floating) QLA removed, 4x-12x Swift Premiere Scope, Lead Sled w 25lbs, 82 yrds. I used T7 (blue) patches and a dry patch between shots. I got some real good groups from a couple of loads. Ran out of bullets and time to verify the best loads. I’ll post some accuracy or targets info when I get more time.
T7 FF Powder Grains

These are excellent numbers for the PR Dead Centers, would love to see your groups. Guess you going for a 200 yard gun. I suggest you try also a Parker Ballistic Extreme (also Traditions markets them and they are cheaper at MidSouth Shooter Supply) and
also the Barnes TMZ 290g. Here is a link to the PBE:
