Got out yesterday to shoot the Barnes 110 Tac. My Burris RT-6 works great.
19.6 H110 2337 fps (Avg 5 shot)
19.8 2389 fps Best grouping
20.0 2405 fps
20.2 2439 fps
20.4 2450 fps
Also Bought a box of Hornady Black 110 V-Max to compare to my data.
Black 110 V-Max 2359 fps (Avg 5 shot)
Hornady book calls for 2.050 but the Black C.O.A.L. is 2.090 which grouped better than my reloads.
What primers are you using? The powder, after a certain point, won't burn, so you won't see a normal progression in fps increase. Small magnum primers will help. So will a good crimp.
