[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1299598, member: 13833"] I loaded up some more for tomorrow, if the rain quits! I picked up some RL15 for the 200's to see what kind of velocity I can get. If it works out well, it is supposed to have good temp stability. I also loaded a couple with N540 to compare. (200 AB's) After shooting the 250's with 67 grains of H100V yesterday and clocking 2860 (a little hot for the Norma brass) I decided to run a ladder test with RWS brass and charges from 63-66 grains in 1/2 gr. increments. I figure 2 grains less than yesterdays charge should yield 2800+ and be within useable pressure with the RWS cases. Interestingly, the 200 AB's at 3.400" coal are positioned nicely just above the base of the neck just like the 250 Bergers are at 3.560". They are much shorter but the far less aggressive ogive compensates..........Rich [ATTACH]73528.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
