[QUOTE="stevesmith, post: 1023798, member: 85997"] i felt in theory it should be that way.. i hadn't never loaded a rifle bullet before. ive loaded tens of thousands of 12 guage shotgun shells shooting skeet..i have a friend who has loaded all his life round up everything i needed to start loading except brass, primers and powder. he had 100 250g hornady hpbt bullets.. well i bought tons of books loaddata annual subscription.etc. found that retumbo powder lapua brass and remington 9 1/2 or federal primers were the best. so i got retumbo and remington. i did a load work up and come up with a killer load of lapua brass trimmed to 2.714 remington primers 91 grains of retumbo under the hornady 250g hpbt bullet that shot .221 at 100 yards in a grouping of 5 then another at .223 back to back.. so i loaded 40 just like that for 100 yards..went to the range and ive never shot nothing this accurate..i was shooting holes in holes.needless to say im out of the hornady bullets but have 500 Sierra 250g smk bullets..they are .005 shorter than the hornady but look mostly the exact same..i just wanted to hear someone that had some experience say this because i really didnt want to ladder test another load especially since im on the light side of the load ..minimum was 90.0 grains of retumbo maximum 98.0 well i went in .5 increments and even at 98.0g no pressure signs at all but had the best accuracy at 91.0g sitting 50/thousands off the lands.. hoping to sit these 50 off with the same results. your comments are greatly appreciated..thanks for your input have a wonderful day..
