    Bolt Gun load work up

    There is no such thing as wasted bullets IMO. Trigger time is good time. I learn something every time I shoot. Been reloading for 40 years and and found SAAMI spec means nothing on COAL to me if it will shoot accurately, run in the gun and there is no high pressure. At .020 off how many of your...

    I have a lot of 175s of various mfg. Do you see bolt wiping and flat primers at book starting loads. I have 4 of those CA Ridge lines and every one of em are tight chambered and show pressure sings at modest or starting book loads. Speed it there but but in no way can you go mid book or book max...

    I just looked I have 3 lbs of 7977 and 3lbs of 8133. My last 280 AI LOVED 8133 with 175s. what bullet does that CA like. I hate the short throat so VLDs and ELDXs are most likely out IMO

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I'm not shooting VLDs. that process works for any bullet I have tried it with this is the first time ive had two decent groups with that process. Been using that process for 10 years. I am shooting Sierras

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I don't care how fast they are. I just want em all in one hole if possible I too have a 280 Ackley and haven't worked up a load for it. Id like to use the Game King 160 HPBT from Sierra. I have found all the Sierra 140s to be very accurate in the 7mm-08 with RL16 or H4350

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I don't ever trust a single group either I just use it as a test to go back and see if I can repeat it another day. You have got to start somewhere.

    Bolt Gun load work up

    Agreed but im loading for a 200yds hunting rifle. If I can get sub 1/2" groups at 100 I am happy. I am close now. it just drives me nuts to have a .130" jump

    Bolt Gun load work up

    Those are 5 shot groups .050 and .090 were so bad i didn't even post those. I want to say that the bigger group of .900" with the last 3 at .260" would be what I should work with but I am not a expert at this.

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I’ve been using the Berger CBTO method of .010,.050,.090 and .130 off the lands to get a rough estimate of where to start looking for where my sweet spot for seating depth on some new bullets. Today I went to the range and I shoot five of each of the above mentioned. The loads that were .050 and...

    Witch 6MM cartridge?

    I ain’t worried about sleeping tonight 😂 all good here. My money my gun. Thought about building on the action then remembered I can barely get the safe door closed now. Why do I need another one?

    Witch 6MM cartridge?

    No I showed him the borescope pics. I’m not out to screw anybody over. Even gave him some ammo from the guy I bought it from.

    Witch 6MM cartridge?

    I’ve got 2, 243’s that shoot lights out I don’t need another 6 mm the only reason I bought it was because it was in 6 mm Remington and I already had one of those as well. I probably shouldn’t even have bothered to begin with, but it’s somebody else’s problem now. Made $50 on the deal. 😂🤣😆
