To answer another part of your post I missed. Sometimes you don't seat to the same ogive length per profile. Some bullets like the amax are more tolerant to jump where as an smk likes being closer but it ultimately depends on the rifle. I've experienced with 168's and 175's both amax and smk...

Think about it. Why do certain brands and types shoot better than others? If every manufacture made the same profile bullet per weight there wouldn't be anything that set them apart. So here's what I do if I want the same jump. I back my seating stem out and work it back down with the...

You did j. I just couldn't find any! I got the varget of a guy from craigslist want to trade vsrget for cfe pound for pound. I had 3lbs to spare so I gave it a shot! Literally! Lol

I've had great results with 48gr of cfe behind a 168gr bullet. Both smk and amax bullets. When I tried to work a load up with some 175smk's I had a very small node. Meaning it would shoot great at x charge but when I would go .3 above and below it would shotgun and that was running the ocw work...

Yeah I wonder if my chrono does the same thing. My pet load shots lights out but my chrono said I had a nasty spread of like 48fps. Anyways my last couple loads I've put together for other rifles I just input a guess fps from the loading manuals. Input it into shooter and use the adjusted mv...

It was a 10 shot string fired in close succession on a 80 degree day. The vertical diagonal stringing didn't get over 2" at 200 so it didn't bother me. I could just relate to the OP.

It was due to increase in muzzle temp I believe. My next outing I took a 30second break between. Only shot 5 rounds and it measured just at an 1" at 200y

Are you using an electronic or beam scale? Maybe you bumped your beam and its sitting funny on the table? Or if its electronic maybe the batteries are getting low or sometimes I notice if I leave my cheaper electronic on to long it'll start reading messed up.

Last time I shot over the chrono I was at the 200y line and all ten shots were shot semi fast. Like as you mentioned above and my 10 shot group looked damn near like that. Looks like a good deer slaying load as it sits. Good luck!

2700 is a good speed but the problem with a 20" rifle is the charge you have to stuff in the case to get there. Your brass life would be shortened greatly. I think the 2600 range will be fine and it won't to be to HOT of charge. Itll be close to book max but that's a guideline as you know. I...

I've tested that load to 700 so far. Did okay. Held right around 7". Had bad conditions and was hurried but they hit tip first which what I was really after.

2600 is pretty close. I'm getting an average of 2581 with bh brass, 44.5 varget, 210m and 175smk out of my 20" sps tac.

I recently developed a load for a friends 300win mag. I was at the 100y line and watched a 1" group shrink to .5 during my seat test. Distances I used were 30,60 and 90 of the lands. Still waiting to get out to 300 to verify

68.7 looks pretty good as well. Theres 3 groups with similar poi. What I would do is load a couple foulers then load 3 with 68.7 with your .015 jump, 3@ .030, [email protected] and [email protected]. Itll suck up tight. I recently load tested a 300win mag and ocw groups were big. Like 1" anyways I picked the charge I...

Drop a stealth dbm and a type 2 alpha mag in it. That'll get ya closer if you so desire. I jump the rounds .101 out of my remy and it likes it

I've got a cheap perfect reloader brand from ebay. Drops extruded well. It consistently drops .1-.2. I always drop low then trickle in though.

Did the 1-12 stabilize okay at 1K? I'm trying it next weekend. Can't get here soon enough

This may or may not help answer your question. I use the same charge in 178 amax as I do in the 175smk. In your other thread I mentioned 2581 with 210m,bh brass,44.5 varget with the smk's. the 178's clocked at 2531. I was kind of surprised the extra 3gr dropped me 50fps. Shooting a sps tactical...

I've been loading privi brass for my buddies 300 win mag and I've been working with 50 pieces. So far I've only pitched 3 pieces due a spot on the case head that looked like a crack but possibly been fine for one more. Didnt wanna try it. I'm on the 4th loading and all have been sized. Necks are...

I chrono'd at 2581 average. I didn't chrono the cfe because I had already wasted 35 rounds trying to find a good charge. My 168's with cfe averaged 2653. I run 48gr and bh brass as well. I was really thinking the 175's and varget would be faster. Hopefully next weekend ill be able to tee off at...
