That's a very impressive pair of groups there mist. Have you identified the powder and weight for reference should they drop the product from their line up?
What rifle was this shot with?
Hi tony
I pulled a couple of projectiles and tried to identify the powder with all the common usable 308 Adi powders and buggered if I could
Nothing was the same
I contacted adi and the fella I got the ammo off
and they reckon it's a special mix not available to the public
Rifle is a

I'd be interested in your thought on powder used
It's hornady 204 powder

I do not have a 204 but apparently no one can achieve factory velocities of 4200+ because it is a special unobtainable blend of powder.
I have no idea and was only joking

David is correct in saying no one can replicate velocities in certain cartridges. Hornady have used proprietary blends like Hyperformance and Superformance etc in cartridges like the stated 204 and more recently in the Creedmoor. Some of those powders have made it to the wider market, some are still not available.
Two things i would do is contact Ken Melgaard and see if he has an in to Thales still, and also get accurate velocity through either an Oehler or your range chart using Litz' BC evaluation on that bullet. Then work to a velocity and hope it works. Velocity is one thing but pressure time curve is another. It seems this load is really good at leaving the barrel at the right moment, hence the awsome groups at 200 yards. The shooter is no slouch by the look of it either.

Cheers tony
Or I just by 3000 and enjoy life for a while
I may give Ken a call though out of curiosity
