UPDATE Unfortunately, the 28.9 Varget load with the Berger 108s sped up on me considerably. I don't know if it is the barrel still breaking in, or some other issue with my load procedure and / or barrel cleaning. Was seeing 2900+, and it started to blow up the group a bit. It is throwing a shot...

Tightgroup is pretty dirty nasty stuff, and burns hot. Makes it easy to differentiate your brass from others, as it will turn it colors. I agree, that load sounds fast at a 146 power factor and you should double check your crono readings. I load and shoot a shit ton of 147s in my hot rod pistols...

This happens occasionally, and at only .006 is a non issue with the load safety. It can however effect accuracy slightly, as the ojive to lands ( aka jump) will change the amount of difference in shoulder bump. I.E. your normally bumping shoulders .002, and these are at .006 so you have .004...

Loaded up a two sets of ten revisiting the previous post's Berger / Varget combo at 27.9, and a tenth over at 28. Printed some nice groups, both charge weights showing same POI, I'll call this GTG. Think I'm at my practical limit with a bipod and bag anyways. Going to continue working on the...

Using the RCBS FL bushing die here, and it is also GTG both bolt and a semi.

Ran a couple more ladders yesterday, the first was with Varget and 108 Bergers and the second was with 108 elds and RL15. Things of note, the barrel picked up on average ~50 to 60 fps after a thorough cleaning at the 75 round mark. I pulled a couple patches during the first 10 rounds of barrel...

Worked up some loads checking out the 27 grain window, results were pretty favorable. Tried a couple groups neck sizing only top row, and second sets with a light FL and .002 shoulder bump middle row, and a set with .005 bump. Seems as if it liked a little shoulder set back. Going to tweak the...

Thanks for the input, opposite paths ending in the same place. I've used the IMR 4895 in the past but not H. Also on hand, and in the mix I plan on working with RE15, Shootersworld Precision, and Leverevolution. Lever's been pretty good in the semi, just not a big fan of ball powder. Here is...

I have finished a 6mm ARC bolt action, and there's not a whole lot of data out. . Been fooling with the 6 arc in first a 18 inch and then a 22 in semi for the last year, so I have some baseline and experience with loading the cartridge. Did a shake down was with 10 rounds factory 108 eldm, and...
