Hey Griz, how many rounds you got down that tube so far? Ted

I would like a run what you brung, with what ever setup, what ever bipod as long as it's not a rest or vice. Diego

Sterling, thanks for the info. Now that the load is developed and the rifle is sound, I.see lots of practice in my future. Diego

For sure, but I was shooting for MOA not location, if this would have been a match I would have adjusted POA to center the group more to center, {doesn't always work as planned, ask me how I know!!!) Diego

Nuff said! Diego

Greg, when and if I can learn to shoot this like you do the #1 223 crusader, I will consider shooting it at the SBRG match. Ted

Savage FCP 1n 223. 300 yard 10 shot group in mild wind, yea I know I missed one! I could really see the wind push the 75gr AMAXs even in the mild conditions today. The bullet and mirage were in sync! Diego

This was a typical group at 300, some were a little better some a little worse, this is middle of the road in mild 3-5MPH wind. Diego

^^^^^^^^^ About says it all!!! LOL Diego

Sorry hodgdon Hodgdon Reloading | Home

The other side of the coin is, I shot 100 rounds with the Hornady 75gt BTHP and never came up with a workable load! Win some and you lose some. Diego

Tula! Love them Ruski primers!

Target one is initial development for the 75gr Amax with Varget powder out of a 24" Savage FCP in 223. I picked the starting load based on Hodgkins recommendations and info gathered here on the hide. Target two is refining the powder charge based on initial test results. I went with 24.2...

I am working with a 9 twist savage FCP, I really like the rifle. I have not gone past 100 yards yet because I am still in the load development phase. Todate the 75gr AMAX is giving me the joy I need, nice and tight and I have not even done seating depth testing! See target below. The 69gr...

^^^^^^^ Believe it!!! Too many keyboard Snipers making the rest of us either think we are poor shooters or need the magic bullet!! LOL Diego

I just checked the last 500 i weight sorted, from 177.4 to 178.9, if you are saying this does not make a difference at 800 yards, then I am nuts!! No disrespect intended. Ted

than you must be shooting large pieces of steel and are happy as long as you hear it ring, because a 5" target at 1000 yards would show you the error of your ways. No disrespect intended! Diego

weight was all over the place!! Too much for me to get any consistency. I am having the same issue with the 75 grainers. Go to the Burger OTMs and don't look back! diego

While the LowBoy is kick azz, I know a shooter with a Shehane tracker that is deadly! Diego
