  I loaded some but with lighter bullets (55 gr.) but have not been to the range with them yet.

  well I got to do some range time today, the rifle is an Olympic p.r.c. with an upgraded trigger and forend with a leo. 3x9 scope shooting off of a 'lead sled' @ 100 yrds. this seems to work well
  load was 25.5 gns CFE223 and a Nosler 69 gn bthp. brass was in a nice neat pile so pressures seem to be consistent.

  Those are some nice groups! Any idea of velocity?

  "Those are some nice groups! Any idea of velocity?".......the book said about 2950 fps. I didn't set up the oehler.
  "What's the barrel twist rate?"........I believe 1/9
  "Did you see a reduction in fouling?"............too soon to tell only have about 30 rds down the tube

  Sounds like it has a burn rate like 4895 or Varget.
