Title: Para LS Elite Range Report
Post by: Rafsob on February 15 2016 11:16:16 AM MST
Started to reload for my Para LS Elite.  I went with the Hornady 180gr. XTP and a RNFP 200 gr. hard cast bullet.  I was surprised at the results.  As to powder I went with WC820 (AA9).  They both shot very well, but the hardcast bullet shot best.  These targets were shot at 25 yds.  Remember these are initial findings:

This is the best group with 200r. hardcast:

This is the best group I could get with the 180gr. XTP:

I plan to work on these reloads with other powders and maybe bullets.

Here is the gun:

What did you shoot that with? Does it have stock sights?

That's some really good shootin at 15 yards. Maybe the factory pulldown section of this web site will show you what powder Prvi used to load that round?
