That’s a better deal than the American bullet company 169’s which I believe are just overrun SMK’s

Currently they are the only small primers I have on hand, I might have to try the equivalent load in the large primer brass I’ve got.

You’d thing a magnum primer would have the power to light off that charge weight.

That’s what I figured but I’ve never actually checked SD/ES with virgin brass, since I used to make “break in” loads with fresh brass for new calibers barrels. I didn’t do load development till I had rounds down the barrel and subsequently I would use the brass from break in for that.

I switched over to virgin brass (Starline SRP 308) from the once fired stuff I’ve been using and while doing load development on it I noticed what I consider higher then expected or wanted SD/ES. I got an SD of 11.7 and ES of 33.23 with 43.3 of varget and SD of 24.38 and ES of 86.32 with 45.1 of...

I’m running 65 in/lbs with a manners mini chassis, but like ROB01 said run what the chassis recommends.

Now I’m interested to see what I can produce with my new 169 recipe, I had a 168TMK that was mint but I ran out of them.

DM if you’ve still got that foundation with the details

Still around

As long as it’s consistent and you can spot your impacts, speed isn’t the biggest concern. I chased speed for a while but when I redo my load I’m going to try to hit like 2850-2900 which is slow, but the miles to matches podcast made a good point. If you can’t spot your misses or hits, then...

I was running 41.8 of H4350 under 105 Hybrids in federal brass getting 3180 out of a 26”, it was definitely spicy but not crazy

I’ve been liking the 168TMK or the 169SMK, they both share the same BC and I’ll bounce back and forth depending on price/availability. I’m about to try out the “American bullet company” stuff from creedmoor sports, which I’m 98% is just overrun stuff from Sierra since it’s the same weight and...

Will most likely be low for you if you’re glassing with it depending on terrain but shooting off it shouldn’t be an issue. I’m like 6’ 2” ish and can shoot off it without issue since I typically try to keep the rifle mid chest to shoulder height depending on what I’m doing. Now for glassing I’ve...

I saw shoot them an email, I had a question regarding something similar and they pointed me in the right direction.

Could do a brass weight that takes up the space between the cheek riser and stock.
