Have been doing some more testing...after some reading about Kik, I desided to order some 2f Kik. Maybe the wind will stop by the time it gets here. Cold wind has not let up for 5 days.
I had a can of 3f Kik...so I loaded some up with 70gr behind the 535Postell and some with 68gr Swiss 1 1/2 and got some real nice results at 300yrds even in the winds. I have to start taking the camera so I can show the results cause I surely won't say how good the load did without some pics to do the talking. Both loads broke 1225fps so I may be able to reach the farther ranges with some luck.
Swiss is sure nice to be able to just drop-tube 61gr, stuff in a OP wad and bullet with your thumb and go shoot a MOA group at 300yds
But the Kik seemed to do a fine job for less money, so I think that is what I will use even if it takes a little more work for the loads.
Just loaded some with 74g 3fKik to try if the wind ever lets up..lol I manged to bulge one case trying to cram this much powder in behind the postell with a wad column of .120
(edit:..not .20, sorry Grits)
