I finally got out to the range and do some chrono and OCW load development..Hopefully the reloading gurus can give me some insights..

The rifle is a newly built Lilja 319 (19") barrel
Loads are:

123gr. scenar
hornady brass
Leverevolution powder
CCI 450

Loads were 30.4gr.,30.7gr,31gr,31.3gr,31.6gr.
no crimps
2.255coal

sunny day at 70deg and the chrono is the Magnetospeed V3
Point of aim is dead center of the circle......All rounds were done round robin..left to the right then right to left ...back and forth 4 times

30.4gr,.
2464
2472
2475

Ave 2470fps

30.7gr.
2496
2495

Ave 2492

31gr.
2506
2491
2503
2516
Ave 2504

31.3

Ave 2522

31.6
2538

2544
Ave 2539


I'm kinda new to the OCW..I have been doing ladder for years..I don't know whats the deal with the velocities on 31.3gr.

Loads were compressed on 31.3 and 31.6 but no signs of pressure.
I am thinking about just sticking with 31.6 and load it out to 2.260 and call it a day...
The verticle stringing is alittle issue buggin me
