SSK 470 Capstick 15 inch with brake: The barrel arrived last Thursday; too much going on over the weekend to work with it. I was able to get a couple of hours this evening, using Hornady 325 XTP pistol bullets with H4198 to get it on paper.
All loads were sparked by CCI-250s
I make the brass from Hornady 416 Remington Magnum.
Velocity recorded by lab Radar

Preliminary range report:

325 XTP
H4198 78.0 grains = 2369fs

Hawk 350 HP
H4198 76.5 grains = 2301fs

Hawk 400 RT
H335 85.5 grains = 2177fs
IMR4895 83.3 grains = 2052fs
H4895 81.0 grains = 2018fs
H4895 85.0 grains = 2162fs
H4895 87.0 grains = 2228fs
H4895 88.0 grains = 2267fs

Barnes 275 XPB
H4198 80.0 grains = 2387fs

I will work with it and various bullets over the next few weeks so its ready for the fall deer season.
I did not find any of the loads unbearable to shoot, the weight of the gun & brake tame it well.

My last target before dark, the last shot got away from me to the right




Good shooting/Hunting
