Anybody loading for their John Hancock yet?

[Srgt. Hulka]

I have 800 once fired resized cleaned and polished Hornady cases. I have 1000 BR-2 primers, 8 pounds of H4350, 100 120 gr ELD-M, 100 123 gr ELD-M, 100 130 gr ELD-M, and 100 140 gr ELD-M, among many other things getting ready for the arrival of my JHR. All of it just sitting and waiting.
Is anybody else getting impatient? Is anybody loading test rounds for their JHR yet, or are you waiting for your rifle to arrive to start loading for it?

If you’re loading for it, do you have a recommended starting load, or just go ahead and follow what’s in the loading manual?

Or, do I just keep on waiting?

Thanks.

I have 500 pieces of Lapua small primer, 5000 AR GMM primers, 8lbs of 4350, 8lbs of IMR 4451 and a slew of lead just WAITING for my JH.

I’m as impatient as you, and I’m chomping at the bit to get started developing for it when it FINALLY gets to me haha.

Bumping this thread... did yall get to shoot your JHRs yet? How are they? What load did you settle on... assuming you've received the rifle?

Haven’t gotten mine. I intend to post up my reloading results when I get it though.

I still have long way to go before I’m 100% confident in my reloading methods in terms of efficiency though. Sometimes feels as though I’m chasing my tail.
