[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1145633, member: 59915"] Well I shot my test loads. Results were not what I had hoped for. I loaded 2 each at 48, 47.5, 47, 46.5 grains. All with .015" jump and with some Remington LR primers that I have. These loads were mostly for checking for pressure signs but also to give me a ballpark area to look for an accurate charge. First shot, click, but no bang. Waited a minute. Recocked it and click again. Loaded the second round and it fired. Very light ejector mark. Easy bolt lift. On to 47 grains. First one bang, slight ejector mark, easy bolt lift. Primer ok. Second 47 grain case, click and no bang. So now I'm remembering why I don't use Remington primers much. 47.5 grains both fired and no ejector mark or any other pressure signs. Group .97" 48 grains both went off, no pressure signs and group of .53". So even with the 2 misfires I still feel like I've got a decent place to start working from. And for those that are going to ask, I don't wet tumble, and I don't use spray lube. The cases were never wet at any time with anything, and the primers are stored in a dry, climate controlled area. I think Remington primers just suck. The rest of my load development will be done with federal 210M and lapua brass. .015" jump is just a jump that has worked well for me in the past with Nosler BT bullets. After I fine tune the charge I'll prob move the depth around some to tune a little more [/QUOTE]
