I'm new to metallic reloading but have done shotshell for many years.
I am planning on a OCW test, I have read the article, and wanted some confirmation that I am heading down the right path especially since there is not a whole lot of load information for the 2000-MR.
308, 1 in 12, 26" barrel
175SMK
Fed GMM Case
CCI BR2
2000-MR
Alliant lists a load at 47.7 for the 308 with 175 SMK. I was planning on backing off 7% and the adding 2% to each charge up to the 47.7 then adding 1% to each for two additional charges. My intention is to shoot these at 250 yes (my clubs max range) to determine the optimum charge weight. These will have an overall length of 2.8"
Does that seem reasonable? Am I taking too many charge increments? That gives me 8 strings I believe.
Thanks in advance for any input.
