hey guys, just got back from the range with the .338LM. trying a lot of different loads and everything is shooting well so far.
the last load i shot is 300 gr. scenar with 85 grs. of retumbo. put 5 shots into .6 at 200 meters. the bolt lift was just a touch stiff and the necks were very black, sooty? i havent seen this before. is it because the bullet is seated down into the powder so far? or is the load just too hot?
thanks for the help!!
