Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to which shot went astray. I will try the 4 shot group. I'm also going to check stock and mounts torque. Got some other bullets to try as well. Nosler 90gr BT, Hornady 100gr BTSP and some Speer 90gr SP.

Tried H4831 with the 85gr TSX. Not sure if it was me on that stray shot. It was pretty cold and my hands were freezing lol The other group with the stray going the other way was with Speer 100gr BT and H4831.

I'll get some 7828 and give it a try.

Alliant powders are pretty difficult to find these days. I was thinking of maybe trying Retumbo.

A chrono is on my list of things to get :) Estimating 3200-3300 from the 24in barrel.

Got out to the range to test some loads in my Vanguard. Looking promising. Hornady 95gr SST H4831 CCI200

Will have to buy a few 8lb once I get a load chosen lol

I have owned and shot most of the Bee's and the worst so far was an older Japanese .378 with no brake and a lighter contour barrel. Just plain nasty from the bench. Even an older Pendleton braked .460 firing the old "elephant" box factory ammo wasn't near as bad. Still gives me nightmares.

Not sure what bullets yet. Most likely TTSX or Swift if I can find some. Got brass already, so must get the rifle now :)

Got my eye on a nice Mk V Safari and was wondering what a good powder would be for 350-400gr bullets. Alliant powders seem to be almost impossible to find these days, so RL22 might not be possible.

That’s great. Many thanks!

Would anyone have access to an old Nosler manual that lists H870 with the 125 PT in the .264 Win?

Got it, thanks!

Just picked up some 120gr A-Frames to try in my .264 and was wondering if anyone had access to Swift data? If they perform well, I will buy the manual lol

Would anyone happen to know if a 1-9” twist will stabilize the Norma 156gr Oryx?
