I have played with the 45gr Hornady SP bullet in my 204Ruger T/C Encore MGM 24" 1-11 twist barrel, with H4895 shoot well. But yesterday I got a surprise, I shoot it at 100yrds shooting about right 1/2'high, but at 135yrds it was shooting 2" high. Against my 39SBK with H4895, 0 at a 100, 1/...

UPDATE: Yesterday got lucky called a dog in at 20yrd. Trotted off thru the brush, my buddy missed her with his 223 about 90yrds, I sent my 39grSBK miss. She didn't shift gear in to GTHO, broke into an opening 156yrds, gave her a 3rdeye, lucky shot "Cause I'm not that good of a shot!" Hit h...

Side note on the Hornady 45gr SP they are being dropped.

Looking for a friend Remington 700 SA BOLT, 22-250,308 etc?

NO WORST

I went today with a little different load .002 gr more of H4895 seating off the ojive. Shot .800. going to tweak it alittle call it good, for my project. But I will say that bullet is BAD, killed a jack about 135yrds look like you shot a furry pillow, another threw about a foot.

I trim mine at about 48, I had a Harris bipod years ago, didn't like it. I have a Caldwell lead sled for chooten my 300Winmag, Me bench has 4legs with wide feet. Works good. If nothing else I try the 45gr on paper in AZ next month, on a PD shoot.

On your trim length, some say 1840 some say 1850. It like the Hornady Brass with t he 45gr. the 39gr SBK in all brass shoot light out. The Remington brass was bulk brass seems very nice and weights out good. I have a PROTEKTOR rear bag also, and Caldwell front rest. Problem the place to go shoot off...

COOL

UPDATE: Got to chot some of the 45gr Hornady SP with 24.4 H4895, Winchester brass RP brass. both around an inch. Hornady brass super around 1/2 place to start. that was on a soso rest.

I got some Remington from Powder Valley and some a guy on Gunbrokers. Seems to be good brass.

It's like a car, drive a car off the lot, cost about 10,000. 1400.00 about right. I brought a COOPER 21 MTV 17 Rem, years ago for 1000. Never sell my #1 gun. I had a friend that got a heck deal on 17AH lots of brass, dies and bullets. Did the same thing sent it to COOPER spent 800, never get it back...
