Thought I would post may range report from Saturday on 245gr I-lcks. Finally my schedule and an unusually nice day (40 deg and sunny) matched up, so time for a range trip to test out loads! Shooting out of 20" Black hole barrel in AR DIY.
5 shot groups loaded with Lilgun and 7.5 primers at 2.225" COAL.

grain charges 10 @ 36.5, 5 @ 37, 10 @ 37.5, 5 @ 37.8, 10 @ 38, 10 @38.5.

Grn - Vel - SD- ES -Grp
36.5gr - 2195 - 64.4 - 166 - 2.0"
37gr - 2227 - 41.2 - 109 - 2.5"
37.5 - 2224 - 18.6 - 43 - 2.1"
37.8 - 2254 - 61.3 - 151- .7"
38 - 2266 - 26.6 - 70 - .73"
38.5 - 2309- 51.9 - 137 - 3.2"

No problems with any of the loads as far as cycling the 38.5 load began to show slight primer flattening and was a stout load. Looks like 37.8 to 38 grain range needs more testing!
