Need reloading help

[asd9055]

Not that you will have the same experience, but my 30-06 shrunk from 0.77 moa at 0.020" jump to 0.4 moa at 0.075" jump with 150 Accubond pushed by 58 gr RL16 lit with WLRM primer.

Interesting. I am loading 0.20" off right now, 150 grn BT. Maybe I should try seating depth next.

FWIW, I went from 0.020" to 0.015" and the group opened up. Then I started at 0.050" and went longer to 0.080". 4 shot groups got nice and tight at 0.070" and 0.075". I did pull one low at 0.070".

It's the rifle my daughter uses, Shots are 90-130 yards. But I can still play with it, maybe after deer season, I am using 60 grns of H4831 for mine in an M70 classic

Wow I'll definitely be trying to deeper seated ones as well. I'd be ecstatic with .4s with this set up.

Did you get a load figured out?

 

[sierracharlie338]

No where close to the speed it "should be at" according to the book but a couple of flat spots I'll play with before I decide to push it further. Zero pressure signs well over book max.

 

[archangel485]

Wow! You've got a ton of good nodes to choose from there. I'd go 49.9! At least for now until you can get some higher charges loaded up.

Yep that's one I'll play with.

Have I got it right. 110gr Accubond, H4350 ? What barrel length?

Yes on the accubond but running RL19 (what I had on hand) and saving my precious 4350 for a couple other rifles.

22" 1:7

Without the COL as shot + the case volume QL can be off by quite a bit. With the 49,5gr load and speed of 2864fps the indications are that 49,2 and 51,3gr might be close to a node.

Interesting I was wondering where the next node would fall. According to the book 49.5 should yield 3000fps at sammi OAL. I'm almost 1200 FPS off from that. I ran the ballistics earlier and was sorely disappointed with a 110 running at 2880 BUT it would work for this trip. I may still be able to squeak one more test trip to the range.

And thanks for that info by the way!!

 

[Tripodmvr7]

The 51.3gr should get you close to 2980fps.

Outstanding!!
