Ok yeah I'm overthinking it. lol. Thanks guys

Yeah I was afraid of that. I'll load 41.8 to 43 in .2 grains with the new seating depth and see what shakes loose. Thanks for the response.

So I've been overthinking this a bit, but that's what we do. Let's say I have an OCW node from 42 grains to 42.6 grains. If I load up 42.3 and do a seating depth test and find 50 thousands more of a jump works best. Won't that move me out of the middle of the node since it will increase...

Thanks for the advice gents. I just figured it was in the book so I'd be good to go. Given how popular H1000 is that'd have been my first choice had I not already had all this 4350. Sounds like I'll just use the 4350 for the 260 and get me some h1000. Kind of makes me think it would likely be...

I think you're both right. The two worst groups are two graduations from the nodes you listed. im gonna load up 64.3 and do some seating depth adjustments. Before I do that I was hoping for an education on why 4350 isn't great. What is the disadvantage of too fast of a powder. I have a ton of...

Shooting at the intersection of the bold lines (all the top groups are 1/4MOA high and left.) It seems like my OCW is 2.5grains wide. I don't understand. Not sure it matters, but 300WM, 212 ELDX, IMR 4350

Just a theory;)

From what I remember reading when researching it ended up being about 8 ounces lighter since the base is skeletonized and included as well as recoil lug. Not my thing mate;)

I have to imagine the hotter the cartridge the faster it breaks in. A 300RUM is going to break in much faster than a .308. Your thoughts?

I haven't had any issues. I had a long talk with Norm at Defiance about this and he felt that so long as the 260 was fed out of a DBM then it would be fine. I literally just threw it together for the pics and won't get to shoot the 260 for several weeks, but I did just feed about 100 rounds with...

Seems over the top at first I know, but you have to think long game. A lower end precision rifle costs about 2k once you figure in a FFP scope, base, rings, level, bipod, trigger maybe...etc and you still have lower end parts. I can pick up any new "rifle" I want for the price of a barrel and...

After almost 12 months wanted to share my new toy with you guys. Action-It’s built on a deviant ultralight action with an ionbond coating. It’s got a calvin elite trigger tuned to 8 ounces. It has two bolts, one in standard face and one mag face, both ionbonded and deep fluted. Stocks-It has...

I was going to try using IMR 4350 for both. If I could find H4350 in large quantities I'd buy a hundred lbs. lol. I just hate to start using something that I know I'll have trouble finding. I have quickload. I just didn't know if anyone had any ice cream loads for these. Now I realize how silly...

Getting a new custom rifle with 2 barrels in each of these cartridges. I'll be shooting the 212 ELDX and the 143 ELDX respectively. I've not broken in a barrel before without already having a starting load so not sure what to shoot through them to break in a bit before starting load development...
