Re: 180gr rainier plated hollow point subsonic loads

As Bob describes in the video, the projectiles' OAL varies. Bob, is H-110 a power that you find to be "position sensitive" as described in your video? I could certainly see that being the case, and hope to come up with much more consistent ignition and tighter velocity spreads using magnu...

Re: 180gr rainier plated hollow point subsonic loads

RL7 seems to be working well in this 1-7 twist AR. Went out to check this load for stability and accuracy at 100 yards, I guess Wedges can be stacked somewhat :mrgreen:

Re: Hornady 190 sub-x powder?

Update on RL7 and Wedge 180's: Had time Sunday morning to make a very quick trip to the shooting lane ( only 100 yards :| ) I bunped the load to 11.3 grains for the flat point and kept 11.2 grains for the hollow point, At 50 yards two shots in 1/2" then with a 7" drop out to 100 yards two ...
