TC Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I finally have my hands on my TRG As there seem to be a few TRG's on here could any of you point me in the right direction for a decent target load ? I saw the impressive group by Kal and the comment on SAMMI length but no details on the load. Northernchris will be helping me get started (cheers mate!) but any guidance on what has worked for you would be appreciated. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest terje338 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Most load`s give greate accuracy in the TRG-22. My best load`s are: 155scenar 44grains N-150 lapua brass Set length 74mm Federal 210 match primer Gives aboute 840m/s 167scenar 45grains N-150 lapua brass set length 72mm Federal 210 match primer Gives aboute 840m/s A 5shoot groupe I shoot at 200meters with the 167scenar load These two loads go side by side up to 400-500meters but after that the 155scenar hits higher. At 700meters the 155scnear hits aboute 30cm higher. At 830meter the 155scenar hit aboute 32cm higher. 175SMK Up to 45grains N-150 lapua brass set length 73mm Federal 210match primer Gives aboute 820m/s Only tested 3shot with this load, and got 14mm 3shot group at 200meters with this load. Tested 44.5grains at 540meters, and got aboute a 60mm 3shot groupe with a wery dirty barrel. 155scenar with 44grains N-150 is a soft load, I have tested up to 47grains N-150 and got 900m/s velosity. I have start to use a simular power like N-150, a low cost Norma powder that we called N-11, and these powder gives the same MV with the same load in my rifle.

baldie Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Tony, the load kal used is one i did him, and i use it in my tactical 308 now, its... lapua brass fed 210 gold medal match primer 42 grains of reloder 15 168 grain A-max SAAMI length loaded [2.700"] this gives 2544 fps out of my 20" barrel, which is slow, but will give good velocities from a 24" tube. This load feeds exceptionally well from a mag, and is blisteringly accurate. You think the group was good from Kals? it shoots in the .2,s and 3,s in mine. The trg will handle most bullets/loads, its just one of the exceptional guns. Dont discount the 155 scenar, you can really get those humming along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks guys! Well the one consistent factor is Lapua brass - which is handy as I picked up a couple of hundred with the rifle....... I'll get together with Chris and report back on the first results. As this point I will be happy if I can shoot those 200m groups at 100m! Cheers TC PS Terje, I sent you an email earlier re: spacers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 AI - AW 308. 46,5g Vit 140 - 155 grain scenars - you know it makes sense Please work up to this load its safe in mine - may not be in yours..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest terje338 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Like Ronin mensure, the 155scenar is reale accurate bullet to. What speed do you got with your load Ronin? I also hunt for speed with the 155scenar bullet before I got a tip from a Norwegian friend. I used a load with 46.8 N-150 and got 3shot group around 50-60mm at 390meters, but then I tried the 44grains N-150 the groups shurk to the half. The best 3shot group that day at 390meter was only 12-13mm. here is the pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Terje the 155's in my AW are travelling around a brisk 2985 fps, when I last checked them. Excellent bullet and very consistant load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
