[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2603331, member: 114213"] I started load development today with the 199 HH’s in my 30 Nosler. Barrel is a 20” HCA 1-9 screwed on to a defiance anTi X and on a XLR 4.0 chassis. Rifle was built by LPR. I started with H1000 since it was working well with the Berger 205’s. Seated .050” off, COAL 3.590, .002 neck tension Charges were: 85.5 3003 fps 86 2998 fps 86.5 3037 fps 87 slightly compressed bullets stuck a little in seater measured 3.592 3067 fps 87.5 compressed measured 3.592 3065 fps 88 comp. measured 3.594 3100 fps 88.5 comp. measured 3.594 3118 fps No heavy bolt lift and the funny thing was, the three lowest rounds were the ones all over board and had ejector marks. The four rounds from 87 to 88.5 had no ejector marks and held about an inch. Has anyone else seen this with the lower charges with Hammers? I was glad things settled down and tightened up. The first three shots had me thinking WTH? Am I correct in thinking to run the compressed loads of either 87 and 87.5 in a seating test or should I try the 88-88.5 range?
