[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 2189215, member: 109060"] Glad you are interested. Today has just been cloudy with just some drizzle. Wife is saying suppose to be bad weather tonight and staying wet until Wednesday when it turns beautiful. With a chance of rain I have been working on my shooting stations. I had a 25 yd pistol & a 100 yd rifle, but I’ve sold my horses and now have a 270 yd station 10 steps outside my reloading shop. About 75 yds farther I have a 300 yd station I’m setting up. I’ll include my reloading notes & data pages along with target & printout from the LabRadar. How did you cut the barrel throat to take advantage of the long action? What is a pressure trace you discussed? I was using 57.8 & 60.0 RL-26 to get the 3200+. Nothing bad happened, but I had a harder bolt lift & slight ejector marks on the brass. I’m using ADG & Nosler brass. I have had some Lapua brass on backorder since December, but still no word on it arriving. I cant see being so hard on my barrel & brass when I don’t need to. I feel if I can back off the charge and still have over 3000 fps that is plenty good. Also, while working up to max I saw a couple of beautiful nodes where my SDs & ESs were low single digit. In addition to my barrel being custom throated for the 156 EOLs I received a seating stem from Forster hand polished to fit the 156 EOLs. That made seating my bullets a charm. I leave it set and don’t use it for any other. Have a good evening, Lynn [/QUOTE]
