[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1781159, member: 96226"] Precisely what my primers and case heads are looking like. Nice round shoulders, no swipes on the case head, butter smooth primary & final extraction. Just a hole in the primer. I'll run the magnums anyway. I had to stop load development after only 4 charge weight increments of .5gr and I'd like to see if there's another node just a little closer to 3k fps so I don't have to re-do my DOPE cards or have 2 sets of them. That node should be another .5-1gr up. If not, I'm sure the 39.5 will stay tight with the new primers. I'm sure you all care by now so I'll spill it on the load. I initially didn't reveal details because I wanted people to focus on something other than the charge weight which I'm extremely confident is entirely safe. RL-23, 6XC, Peterson brass, 115 DTAC's .010 off. Started at 38.5 and ran up to 40gr in .5gr increments. I've gone decently above that on LRP brass. Bottom right 38.5, bottom left 39, top right 39.5, top left 40. I wasn't at my most steady. Was occasionally shaking like a dog poopin' razor blades for some reason. Probably low blood sugar. I'm pretty sure the windage dispersion on the 40gr set was me. [IMG]https://ballisticxlr.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/img_4459.jpg?w=500[/IMG] What impresses me is the barrel has 1800 rounds of .243AI 115gr's at 3200fps through it. It was set back and re-cut to a 6XC. Still grinding out the one-hole groups. I will end up having to re-do this test run of course with the new primers and I'll do it from prone instead of a bench. I'm way more steady that way even when my blood sugar is low. [/QUOTE]
