Target interpretation help.
Better late than never. Finally got back out to the range. Shot the HDY 168 BTHP and Nosler 168 BT. Both targets below. Thoughts? 44.5 HDY and 44.2 Nosler?- kaskin

LOL. Seriously?!? Awesome…. In all seriousness, I would have bet $$ it was the other way around. Thanks for the heads up.- kaskin

Target interpretation help.
I appreciate the input... I feel like I'm down in the weeds at times thinking about this whole topic... The fact that I'm an analytical guy probably doesn't help. My reasoning for .1 increments was that if the load did ok before, with different brass, maybe it should do ok, somewhere close to...- kaskin

We are supposed to get some weather this weekend, and blistering cold... Not exactly range inviting conditions... but, maybe sunday i can muster the courage to run the tests... For the time being, this is the plan: Lapua Brass, 168 grn Hdy BTHP 5 Rds @ 44.2 gr 2.810 to warm up the rifle 5...- kaskin

This is great information. Part of the reason I love this forum... There would be a very slim chance, if any, of me finding this out on my own... So, i'll make a few test rounds at 44.2 gr. Seems that FC and Lapua are close together in volume capacity. Here's another question, I had already...- kaskin

I feel like I'm in the weeds with all the info floating in my head.. LOL I misspoke earlier. The stock on this rifle is a B&C as well. The ruger Amrcn Prec is in a Boyd... Anyways.. getting back to the load. I don't remember why i never pursued 44.2. At time everything I read and learned...- kaskin

I appreciate all the help gents. I didn’t even know this was a thing. Now that I think about it, it makes sense. Time to take that rascal apart and look.- kaskin

If i can't get this recipe figured out, i may purchase a different seating die. Funny you say that about neck tension. My notes say .002-.003- crimp when i made the first rounds. The magneto speed made the poi shift and open up quite a bit on this rifle... That's what prompted the different...- kaskin

Target interpretation help.
did a little reading on seating depth adjustments and the consensus is .010 - .020 increments... So, in light of that, I'm going to make 3 sets of rounds (5 ea.) with a jump of .014" between them. Original: COAL: 2.782" = CBTO: 2.182 The new series will take us out to max SAAMI @ COAL: 2.810"...- kaskin

RR140xxx. It is indeed the tactical model. 0.865" at the muzzle. The magneto speed is the only way i have to get speed data. I can try and run another test without it and see if some of the " questions " go away...? I'm thinking of making a batch at 44.9 grn at current seating depth. Then...- kaskin

Just checked my records on this rifle. Headspace @ -.002" is 1.627. All the brass i have ready to load and the ones fired yesterday are at 1.627 - 1.628". When i did bump the shoulder, my notes called for Redding shell holder @ +.010. Brass seems to be uniform. Removed that variable from...- kaskin

Got it. These cycle easily still, so... i'm guessing i was just waiting for that moment before i set the die.- kaskin

I also took a look at the Redding body die. Seems like i never set the locking ring, which means... I haven't set it up yet.. further meaning, it's all been done with the Lee Neck sizing collet die. All this brass was prepped a long time ago, so, i don't remember every detail.. However, the...- kaskin

I wouldn't be telling the truth if i didn't start questioning my technique when i saw some of these groups... Then again, I was conscientious about loading the bipod, cheek & rifle position and recoil management... These were shot in sequence. All the bullets for 1 charge in 1 run. 1 minute...- kaskin
