I was inspired by Gunnyhiway's latest posting of his 3 position shot pics, so I though I would post my most recent results from my load development for my SA M1A Std. These groups were obtained at 100 yds, NM Irons, with the rifle held in a "Bulls Bag". Bullet: 155gr A-Max Powder: 44gr H4895 Case: Rem Primer: WIN OAL: 2.80 MV Ave: 2786 @80 F 800 ft. ASL Group Size: 4 shots 1,1/4" with two touching Notes: The pen scribles are my attempt to superimpose my other groups onto the pie plate to get zero data average.  Bullet: 155gr A-Max Powder: 44gr H4895 Case: Rem Primer: WIN OAL: 2.80 MV Ave: 2786 @80 F. 800 ft ASL Group Size: 4 shots 7/8" Notes: My first groups with this recipe. The 5th hole marked with a pen is a result of breaking position/NPA.  This is a typical group I'm obtaining with Wolf Gold 150gr PSP ammo. The Gold line from Wolf is brass cased, boxer primed, "premium" ammo. I think this ammo is a good alternative to NATO surplus. Bullet: 150gr PSP MV Ave: 2750 FPS @80 F. 800 ft ASL Group Size: 4 shots 1, 7/8" Notes: The two shots low and right are not part of the grouping. I promise   These loads are definately "Minute of Haji or Hog" I will continue to shoot my A-Max loading, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy some Wolf Gold if I needed some factory pills. In my rifle the Wolf Gold printed 3.5" lower than my A-Max recipe. |

I like that bullet! I've got it out at 2.84" which is just long enough to fit the mag but still within 0.020" of the lands when chambered in my tight match M1A. It's pretty easy to match the wind drift numbers for the 175SMK. A couple guys out here shoot (well, used to shoot) the 178grAMax at 600yds. Ty |
