(Notes) I have shot 5 matches now with RL 16. First three with 41.6 grains, last two with 41.7. I have about 250 rounds through my new barrel. The old 24 incher was getting about 2775. I was hoping to get around 2825 with the longer barrel. Started out shooting 2775, then I shot a match, about 70 rounds, then went to Louisiana and croned it before match, and it had sped up to 2816. Shot about 70 rounds in that match. Annealed about 250 pieces of brass, and loaded up a hundred. Shot five through magneto speed. 2830, 2830, 2836, 2833, 2833. ES 6 FPS, SD 2. Real happy with this load.Note that this load will not fit in a standard Remington mag box. Running AI mags, and have a small notch cut into feed ramp.
