Hey just finished doing a load work up foor the 7 TCU Carbine barrel that I bought from VVCG's. All the loads turned in a respectable 1" area.

The load that did the best was a 120 NBT over 29.4 gr of H335, Fed 205M primer in Lake City 01 brass for a velocity of 2550 fps ave. It turned in a group of .810 @100 yards. I'm very pleased with the results! Thanks to Bobby Tomek for the advice on the powder & bench rest primers.

As an added extra yesterday I was able to bloody the barrel with a 98 yard shot at a woodchuck. This barrel has recorded it's first kill. Needless to say an excellent day at the range.
