Range Report What loading should I go with.

[clos9009]

Ok been to the range twice now and have shot 2 identical loads only thing I change was the bullet. And 2 different loads both .010 off the lands. Just not sure if I want my gun to be a single shot or load from the mag. I think ROB01 has two different loads one from mag and one off the lands. so here are my pics and I am wanting accuracy but Velocity is a very close second. I don't have the #'s for all loads that I tested. but I will post what I got. Looking for a 1 load that does it all. trying to keep it simple for this gun

Re: What loading should I go with.

If you want to mag load I would not worry at all about the first two targets.

On the bottom two, 43 grains looks very good, as does 44.5 grains.

I would try: 42.8, 43.0, 43.2 low node, and 44.3, 44.5, 44.7 high node and run it again.

are we talking both bottom targets or the the 178Amax target?

Clos,

Both targets, high and low node, on both, same charges, if your have the components. If you have to chose just one bullet to work with, then the 178 A-max, seems the better of the two.

Re: What loading should I go with.

yea I have the components, I will try both bullets

Re: What loading should I go with.

I dont run the 175/178 series but those I know that do like 44 varget in a Winchester case around 2.82" and primer can vary.

I dont know too many who cant swap good shooting Amax ammo from rifle to rifle, in other words the whole sensitive to a paticular rifle or a peculiar shooter syndrome doesnt affect them.

Good Shooting

Well loaded up the above rounds and went to the range last night. After helping my dad move and going to a birthday party I came home and loaded them up and went to the range. I think I should have waited for another time as I kept yawning and my concentration was not there I felt. but I went for it anyways. I am gonna go with the 178Amax and load it to 44.5. I may try 44.6 and 44.9 and out of those 3 on a good day with my full attention.
