Last night 60 rounds of 308 win. 41.7 gr imr4064, gm210m, 175smk and lapua brass. I tried out the chargemaster I had it overthrowing by 0.2gr, so I set to 41.5 gr 9/10 dropped 41.7gr. It's at least consistently consistent? This was after doing the McDonald's straw trick. Before it was throwing 0.1-0.8gr over.
That's weird, mine throws almost all loads perfectly. I occasionally get an over or under if I bump the table seating a bullet while it's still dispensing.
And my wife is looking over my shoulder and says, "That's an interesting chessboard!"
Paper patched .303B rounds. Started as .309" 200gr cast, PP'ed up to .317" or so. Trying them in a Martini-Enfield with a terribly worn bore; slugs around .316".
I know the wraps don't line up; this was more of a hail mary attempt to get the rifle to shoot before looking at having it rebarreled. I'll do the tweaking later if there's any promise. In the past I've found poorly wrapped bullets to still work but not shoot as well. If they don't keyhole, I'll be happy.
Loaded up just 25rnds of 223 with 69gr SMKs from 23-25gr Varget in 0.5gr increments. Going to do a load test on a new AR upper SPR build.
I like to go by 0.2 or 0.3 with 223 because the case capacity is so small.
I need to start trying Varget again, I have over ten pounds of it and haven't loaded anything with it since last summer.
