Sendero300I've shot a very few rounds with it. My rifle is a tight chamber Krieger barrel, 24", 30-06.
Lapua brass , CCI 200's
180 Partitions were 2810 fps 60grs Superformance
180 Accubonds ...2861fps 59.7 grs Superformance
165 Partitions 2883fps 61grs. Superformance
165 Partitions 2942fps 62grs. Superformance
The 180 Accubonds had a very low velocity spread with the Superformance, better than H4350 (I may change primers with that powder). Set .03 off the lands.
All the above were shot over my pro chrono and it's new to me so FWIW.
Another powder I want to try a little more is Ramshot Hunter. I just shot 4 rounds so far over an Oehler.
Lapua brass, Fed 215 primers
180 Ballistic Tips, 2899fps, using 58grs Hunter
The 4 shots only had 6fps ES.
For comparision:
Lapua brass,CCI BR primer, 180 Ballistic tips with 56gr H4350 runs 2868fps.
