6.5 bergara load speeds

[jmccracken1214]

Did some ladder test today.

Hornady brass, federal primers, h4350 and 140eldm

41.4 -2645
41.6 -2659
41.8 -2659

Going to load 20 up at 41.6, little slower than I wanted to be (2700+) but if it shoots good, it'll get me to 1000, no need to chase extra speed I suppose. Not terrible for a 22" barrel.

Nope, if it shoots well you are there. One shot only per load or how many reps?

I start with 1 shot per load to check consitentcy with speeds, then load some to group. 95% of the time, they will group less than 1" and speeds of all of them will be very close together, which is what I'm after for 1000+ yard shooting
