I have a keltec rdb and recently got some 70 gr speer semi spitzers and loaded up a fre to test. 2 books said 23-25 so i loaded up a 6 loads in between. 23, 23.4, 23.8.... got to the 23.8 and saw pressure signs so stopped there. Shot 5 rounds of the first 2 loads and they were everywhere. Like 8moa, had trouble telling which were shot at which target for some. Ive shot 55gr vmax and got consistently 2moa and even got some 45s to shoot decent. Not sure if i should scrap the bullets and order some more vmax. Have a deal loacaly for some 75gr bthp also. What do people think about the accuracy and pressure??
70gr speer, h4895, 1:7... 6-8moa?

Are the bullets .224" diameter, i think speer also made 70gr .227 or .228" bullets for the 22 Savage high power.
I made that mistake with a Tikka T3 223 rem with a 1-8 twist rate.
Good catch, 300 Savage.
defiantly .224 bullets and rifle primers. pulled them and nothing weird going on with the pulled bullets
does anyone with more reloading experience have any suggestions of where to go from here? i have 500 of these and would like to get a load that shoots decently with them. would loading the same tests be a waste of time?

Re loaded 3 different loads to try again.
Loaded to jumst umder the mag length. I know its not the rifle, after i shot a few and saw what it was doing i took some of the 55 grain loads and shot a 6 round 2moa group immediately after. Hopefully this weekend will have a better result
