From what I remember, Hornady changed their recipe but left the box data the same. I shot some and it was around 2800. From my notes, Federal 175eldx was the most accurate factory loads I shot. 3009fps avg. & shot a .64MOA group at 100yds.

I'm using 76.7g of N568. SD is around 4. consistently 1/2 MOA at 600yds, sometimes I'll squeak out a 1/4 MOA group.

Here is a 7 shot group from two weeks ago. 8-10mph gusts from my 8 o'clock. Didn't hold for wind, you can see the center 4 were between gusts.

Very nice. Handloading is definitely the way to go.


No kidding. Very impressive
