[QUOTE="odoylerules, post: 1661148, member: 99160"] Alright, here’s the report from the first range day with the 300 Norma conversion in my desert tech srs a-1. Shot a ladder test at 622 yards. Mostly was trying to determine where pressure would be, and get a ballpark tune, looking for flat vertical and velocity nodes. I don’t get really serious about load development until the barrels got around 100 rounds or so and is settling in. ES tactical 300nm 32” barrel Lapua brass (virgin) HBN coated Berger hybrid 215’s Fed 215 primers VihtaVuori N565 and N570 powders. LabRadar chrono. I ran the N565 powder up to 3207fps at 86.0 grains with a couple of promising flat spots around 84.0-85.0 grains average of 3158fps. Never experienced any stiff bolt and had very very faint ejection on the brass. I ran the N570 up to 3363fps! Again NO stiff bolt and faint ejection marks on brass. 87.5-89.0 had 2.5” of vertical dispersion and 89.5-91.0 had 1.25”. I’ll analyze things further and decide where to go from here. Here’s some pics... [/QUOTE]
