Finally finished up some round of 300blk using 5-10yr old 125gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and some recently purchased Sierra 110gr JHP Varminter bullets.

Loaded up 5rd groups of three different powder levels for each and a couple of 2rd combos of higher powder levels for the NBT's.

Here are the rounds ready to go to the range:

Damn, you've got your hands full with load development - a couple of those look really, really good, and none of them look bad at all.  That's some pretty cool results.  <thumbsup>

To say I was pleased would be an understatement. 

Not sure if it's the loads or the Noveske upper, but either way i'll be buying more Noveske products. <thumbsup>

I would imagine that once the upper is broke in what you have may be much better. I was really disappointed that there where no 100yrd pictures in the mix.

Nice looking rifle. I hope to get a scope mounted on mine real soon and should have my 147gr cmmg loads today.

Baby steps.

Got to have ammo to shoot at 100, no ammo available locally, so now I've got to slowly work up some rounds that will be used out to 100 yards. 

Planning on finalizing a load this week and shooting out to 100 yards this weekend or early next week.

Check the reloading section for some of the ones I have loaded . 125's,150's 135MK's .

You will also see some that are on the over pressure side(and I said so ) & they may give you some limits & also I chrono'ed results also.

Its been so Hot ,you can fry an egg at the range & I have two rifles to test this week ,if we don't get much rain from Irene.

Hay, it might cool it off ,but we are expecting 30-40 mph winds & the bitch is missing us .
