Thanks! Could you clarify your COAL for those loads and, if possible water capacity on the cases?
I've had a hard time getting my 16" to shoot well (though I've been focusing on heavier bullets).
(If you don't want this to get lost here I started a thread for loading this barrel
over here.) </div></div>
I haven't really found a load that I'm really happy with either in my 16". With the few that do seem to show promise I've been having fliers, which honestly could be me.
45.2 Varget, FC case, BR-2 and a 178 Amax at the lands has shown some promise for me, 2588fps avg 20ES.
On a whim I tried my Noveske 21" load 44.5 Varget, CCI LR, LC 08 and a 175 SMK at 2.81". 2515fps 20es
Both of these will stack 3-4 of 5 in 3/4" or so and the others will be 1-1.5" out at 100yds.
With subsonics I'm having good luck with 11.2 Trailboss, FC, CCI #34, 225 Hdy BTHP at the lands. Right at 1000fps and good ES/SD, shoots >3/4moa.
I have some 208 Amax loaded with 2000mr that I haven't had a chance to do a good long range test with yet. I've tried Hdy 178 BTHP at varying depths with varget, 2000mr, #34 and Br-2 with marginal success.
