That's actually the exact load someone suggested I try, I'm just waiting on getting n140 and smks. They're both out of stockColinR wrote:Try 155 smk's as Scenars are reported as giving poor accuracy at longer ranges. I use 155 smk with 42.5 grains of VV N140 in Lapua cases with Federal primers in my AW 7.62 which also give a single hole at 100 yds and good performance at 600 yds as well. For longer ranges try 170 grain Lapua Lock Base with 45.5 grains of VV N140.alijnclarke wrote:In my AT i've just got a load that gives one ragged hole at 100yards (tested in an indoor tunnel range), 175 SMK, 42.3 grains of IMR4064, federal primers. I'm getting just over 2600fps out of it, haven't got out to shoot it at range yet, but if it performs anything like i think it will i'll be very happy.
How are you finding your AT? I'm still waiting on the muzzle brake to be delivered, i ordered it with the thread & apparently they haven't been made yet!
I'm just trying to work up a load with the 155 Scenars using N140, will post back when i have something
I really like my AW's - I also have .338LM, but far prefer shooting the 7.62 probably because I use it more - .338LM is not allowed at Bisley, but I've shot it a few times at WMS and Warminster ranges
Good load for my 7.62 AI

I am out this weekend with 170 Lockbase with some TR140 behind them to compare to N140. The 170 Lockbase has always been my favourite bullet for the Accuracy International.

Re: Good load for my 7.62 AI
Poor Accuracy? I have shot next to Rox in the past with Scenars and they seemed to go where they were supposed to at 1000 yards, I have even pushed them to 1200 however it is getting a bit far.
The 155 Scenar does have a reputation for being jump sensitive however I am not sure where this originates from and they do not seem so different to similar offereings.

I have a range to morrow 200yards and may be 300yards if I am lucky. I have loaded up some 168grain bullets with N140 in lapau brass built to 3.820 for my SSG P1 should be fun. I hope
