How were the groups with the 165tgk? Mine didn’t seem to care for them

Just did single shot ladder to see what velocity I could expect. Really didn’t expect that high with 4831sc. I’ll roll with it though and check couple areas with 5 shot groups next outing and report back

What COAL did you use. Hornady listing 3.070 for 162-166. I did that on first round and it looks wildly too deep. I backed it off to have the bottom of bullet just below the shoulder/body junction.

With that short barrel and lighter bullets, you might want to try 4831 or 4831sc.

All good. I switched to an n570 load with Berger 180 hybrids and it’s been lights out. Not planning on switching

73gr n570, Peterson brass, cci250, 2.5935 cbto. Seems to be hanging around 2850fps out of my 18”.

Obviously work up to the 73gr. I started around 69gr and found great accuracy all the way up to 73.5.

900 (3 shot) and 1000 (4 shot) yard groups attached.

any one can recommend a good start up load for N565 with Hornady 180 elds?

How’s the ADG brass to those pressures? I’m using Petersen which seems to be holding up good. Pushing 3050 from a 22” barrel (69g n560) slight extractor smear. Heavy bolt at anything over 3050 on this gun. Hornady brass primer pockets are done after 1 firing

For reference Hornady match 180 shoots 2860

I haven’t tried the ADG with the n570 load. Was using h1000 for that and didn’t push it at all. The Peterson is holding up great
