[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1859397, member: 69478"] Here’s my initial load development with the .308 Norma and 215s today. I started at 68.4 and worked up to 71.0 grains. Below is 13 shots from 68.4 to 70.8 inside that ragged hole. My first shot is the one at 12 o’clock and the second shot is the one just outside at 9 o’clock. The first two were on a cold, clean bore. On shot #14 I adjusted down to get a zero for the next round of load development. Half of these shots were fired from me, and the other half from a buddy. As you can see, this rifle and bullet wants to shoot bugholes. I’m very impressed with this level of performance from loads that varied over 2 grains of powder and 145 FPS difference. I believe when the powder charge is finalized and seating depth work is complete, this will be a sub 1/2 MOA load. My next move is to load up from 71.0 to around 72.6 grains. The last picture is showing my starting load of 68.4gr next to the 71.0gr case. I believe at this point 2950 will be easy to hit and I should reach it by 71.4-71.6 grains. By the way this brass looks, I have at least 1.0-2.0 grains left to go before seeing any pressure signs like stiff bolt or ejector marks. I’ll continue to keep you guys updated!
