Yes - thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the heads up, never tried this bullet before but at 18p each it was definately worth getting a load, managed a handful of decent 5 shot groups at Bisley on Friday in the rain with my old 2nd hand Remington 700. Luckily CNC had gone home early due to the foul weather so I could shelter under the roof on SIberia.

Privi brass, 42gr Ramshot TAC through a Lee perfect powder measure, reloaded on Lee turret press with Lee RGB dies, average .65"

Excellent stuff :goodjob:

They seem to work just fine

I tried out my Nosler 155s yesterday too.
Threw together a handful for a pressure series and a group test at 300m in some once-fired cases from the club (fired in various rifles), loaded in the progressive with an arbitrary charge of TR140, fired off a sling with irons.
Elevation ES 14mm = 1/6 MOA.
Apparently I should be doing something called 'case-prep'???

I hope to get some more statistically significant results soon including long range, but so far so good. If it goes well I think I'll head to Luxembourg and get a boot full.

Nosler load data (apparently newly released) can be found via the link below. For published manufacturer data they're showing some pretty stiff loads for the 155s with N140 (and N140 is listed as 'most accurate powder tested'). I'm still gobsmacked how well they performed for me. Will be running up a pressure series with the 168s this weekend.

Interesting stuff, nice to see some 300 Blackout loads included (pity there's no 168gr data!). I found 41gr to be the best load for my .308 Steyr SSG-04 with the CC 168s, 1/2 MOA or better if I manage to do my part!.
