Found a couple boxes of 230 gr 45 LRN bullets I didn't know I had, so ran off 500 or so 45 ACP's. - dan
Loading a bunch of 167 Scenars and 44 grains of Varget for the vintage 40X International Match rifle.
f things calm down as far as blizzard conditions go, I will be back out to the range tomorrow with the irons on the rifle this time.

Today I rolled up some more testing volunteers…..
Again 140gr eld-m but switched to Sako brass from Barnes and adjusted the charge.
Beside that is my first ladder of 147 eld-m in Barnes brass.
Both using H4350 and cci 200 in tikka tac a1 6.5 cm
Next up is my first go with match bullets in my tikka .308 ( only been loading for hunting but I like shooting it and not gonna wait for fall hehe ) so I decided to see if it likes the classic 168 SMK as it already likes 165’s a lil better than 150’s.
This load is Varget, cci 200, and Lapua brass.
Will be testing tomorrow, first day with no snow and hot chocolate this year so looking forward to that, not that the cold stops me but hey nice weather is nice so why not get double pleasure!

Another 100 of 222 Rem Mag. 50 more 6.5x55 (and prepped 50 more brass). That one is odd, all the Win brass chambers fine. I have 60 or so of what I think is ppu brass, won't chamber, even after a full length resize. Went looking for a small base 6.5x55 die, no such animal. - dan
Well the 167 Scenars worked well, as did some 168 A Max's, but the 300 Meter International really shot the 155 match Kings I tried excellently.
So convincing were the three targets I shot that I ordered 500 and am in the process of building some match ammo for our May 16th short range Fclass match!

I have the same rifle. as well as the 155 Palma bullets it really likes 175 gr MK's. - dan
Mine has a fresh barrel on it , Dan, but it is a 1:10 so I have no doubt it will like the heavier bullets as well.
I am getting set up for a short range ( 300 and 500) Fclass match so figured I'd stick with the 155's for now .
