Finally done with load development...

Finally got that 147 grain ELD bullet shooting the way I want it to. Right at Hodgdon's max published load for H-4350. These are way too long to fit my magazine so I am gonna order the MDT Magazine without binder plate.

This is a Maximum published load. Neither myself or TFL can be held responsible if you use this data. Be cautious and work up carefully.

41.8 grains H-4350
147 grain ELDM .264 diameter bullet.
CBTO 2.270" .018" off the lands
COAL 2.915"

Velocity: 10 round string
Avg: 2744
ES: 23
SD: 8

I fired two 10 shot groups. Here is a photo of one of them. They were approximately the same size.
