2735fps, nothing blistering. It’s just a proven load for this rifle. It has shot great with great repeatability everytime Ive taken it to the range. It shoots the same with IMR-4064 also.

75gr semi spitzer with IMR3031 powder, CCI #41 primer(NATO/milspec) and Lake City brass.
Excellent in both 10” suppressed 1:8 barrel as well as 16” 1:9
Finally got some live target testing and results were better than expected; I’m not used to a 5.56 hitting with this much authority.
Entrance wound shot from elevated blind
Exit wound through opposite shoulder
Not a big pig by any means, but there is no testing media like live flesh and bone.

Factory seconds from Midway; these are the Interlock SBR seconds, otherwise not released to public except in loaded ammo.

Loaded up a ladder for the 338/06 this weekend, found where I thought I should be and loaded up 5 rounds with 2 different charge weights and the first one shot 5/8” at 100 yds.
225 gr Speer Trophy Bonded Bear Claw
56.8 gr H380 average of 2570 fps
Good enough for the girls I run with and any things that it will be intended for. I bought the rifle from a guy that said the only load he could get to shoot was a TTSX with 4320. I have exactly 1/2 pound of 4320 left so needed something I could actually use for a while.

That’s probably as close as you can get to the perfect load in my opinion.

Neal Shirley's 550 Express, lol chopped $1,000 of brass to form 200 pieces of shootable brass. Multiple expanders, multiple annealing, but they are looking good.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.
I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.
Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?
I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
