Shot some loads I pressed up the other nice. Decided to try RL17. It is very 4350 like and seems to get the same speed with less PSI. I sorta decided to try shooting off the shooting sticks from a chair. It was a little redneck, but I was done with the bench after running through the Newton.
63 grains was looking pretty good, but I flung one left a couple of inches..
2503, 2487, 2522 FPS
64 grains - 2561, 2628, 2592
65 grains - 2571, 2621, 2640
66 grains had the slightest bit of sticky extraction, so I won't be shooting them again, but they were the most consistent across the board.

I think I am going to load up some more at 63 grains and just zero up the old girl real well. They have plenty of speed for what I am looking for, and should let the bullets work just fine.
Here is my redneck shooting position..
It was fun though. When I can rearrange my target set up, I will get some proper targets to shoot irons on and get it dialed.. Fun day though!
