On your first firing your case is fireforming to the chamber. On the second firing the brass fits the chamber better and is more consistent. I believe forming the brass takes energy and in so doing you lose a few fps in velocity on the first firing.

I start at 20 thou off the lands and seat deeper.

I'll take this per PM.

Load 10 and shoot for group and chrono, if the ES and SD still suit you move on to seating depth testing. I start at 20 thou off the lands and in 10 thou increments go to 60 thou off.

The Wilson seating die makes some very straight ammo. The micrometer top is nice.

I looked through one in the mid 90'as I remember it was exceptionally clear. But I couldn't afford the sky high price tag of $600.00.

Using a 22" barrel. Would like to see velocity of 3100 fps.

Nice build. Interested in the load you settle on.

Frank do you happen to know if the bullets were made with powdered tungsten. I had heard that probably 20 or more years ago. Innovative in that the bullet wouldn't leave the body of the bad guy, which could come in handy when shooting into crowds. I also heard those that this type of bullet...

I'll take the GEN 3 APA LB

Good snag

Have you tested different seating depths?

Trying to figure starting loads for a 147 gr bullet. Would using a 7 PRC and a 175 gr bullet from Hodgens website be a good starting point?
