    Target interpretation help.

    I have about 3-400 of these rascals left. Lands were way out there, so I was limited to internal mag length. I haven’t tried sierras or 175’s. I have tried nosler 168 and it seemed ok. They are hunting bullets, so I haven’t burned a bunch up.

    10-4. I’ll stretch the next batch .005 at a time. Funny thing, the 44.8 charge seems to shoot tight, but that ES was quite extreme. Hard to move on from a group with sizes like that. Such is life though. Haha

    I measured a dummy round I had on the bench. 2.783 COAL

    Target interpretation help.

    The numbers from 45.1 look good. I wonder if I can fine tune it with seating depth? I don’t have COAL on my notes. I get the comparator difference, but, I only use this comparator to load bullets for this gun… so for me, it’s a non issue. These bullets are restricted to internal mag length...

    I figured i could get these to shoot... After all, i do get some cloverleafs.. occasionally that is... LOL I my grab 100 SMK's and see what's up. Sidenote: the gold standard FGMM will not group in this rifle. 1.5"+ at 100 yds

    Target interpretation help.

    If memory serves me right 43.9 varget with HDY BTHP was giving 2680 fps. This is just for benchmark purposes. So, at this stage, is the consensus load 5 rounds from 43.6 to 44.8 in .2 increments, .1 increments?? or 43.4 - 44.5 in the same fashion? Get MV for all loads and see what prints? or...

    The throat on this factory is a country mile long... .126 jump to the lands... You think COAL will make that much of a difference with a jump like that?

    Funny thing you say that, I was loading 43.9 for a while, but got "inconsistent" results. Some days they would group great, some days would be all the way out to 1.1" group. After a shooting a 600 yd competition and not getting the results i expected, figured it was time to run the OCW...

    Thanks for all the input guys. Yes, you are assuming correctly about the OCW. Based on all the above, i think the next plan of action is to load 5 shot groups from 44.3-45.0, get some chrono data and see what they do on paper. I'll try to get to the range this weekend and see.

    I figured somewhere in the 2600 fps range. Not married to a velocity really. I would like for them group tight and consistent and let velocity figure itself out… maybe that’s not the right thinking..? Not sure

    Need a little help deciding what loads to pick from on the ladder test. I’m thinking 44.5-44.8 gr varget in .1 increments to find the winning recipe? REM700 1:12 20” factory barrel lapua brass WLR primers No exactly sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

    308 -Varget Load Testing

    Need a little help deciphering the target. Not sure which load would be best. This is a 308 Win. Rem 700. I may try and re-shoot 10-12. I was starting to feel the recoil. Don't think it mattered since i focused on trigger break and breathing, but...

    308 Ladder Test. What would you pick?

    Several ways you can do it. In my opinion, it varies with the amount of bullets you plan to shoot. Driving down after every shot is one way. Coloring bullets another way. I do it on a home made Shoot N See target and match the shots on my data book. 90% of the time i can see my shots with...

    308 Ladder Test. What would you pick?

    PBWalsh, I have used all 3 processes... Ladder, OCW and Chrono. OCW - Pro: Lot's of data. Con: Lot's of ammo to shoot (hot day=Long wait times) Chrono: Pro: Hard numbers to look at. Cons: Sometimes not easy to decipher Ladder: Quick, Not much ammo used, Simple to interpret Con: No extra...

    308 Ladder Test. What would you pick?

    Agreed, I will know more on the next test with a chronograph. Side note: I saw a thread about a contraption that allows us, Magneto Speed users, to use the chrono without it having to be attached to the barrel... Promising. Got supplies ordered and will be putting it together soon. This...

    308 Ladder Test. What would you pick?

    I may try this. The rifle pressures out at 46. This test was shot at 41*F. Not sure how much seating depth will change since the throat in this barrel is a country mile long. If memory serves me right, the BTHP’s jump 136 thou....
