[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 316914, member: 14204"] I managed to do some loads and range time last weekend and yesterday. [B]RIFLE:[/B] SAKOM995 in .300WM, 23.5” barrel, 1:11 twist - all factory except for a custom muzzle brake by Joe Starnes, topped with 4.5-14x40 B&C Leupold scope, trigger set @ 2.5 lbs. [B]BRASS:[/B] Once fired Federal [B]PRIMER:[/B] CCI250 [B]POWDER[/B]: H4831SC [B]BULLET:[/B] 200G NAB (1) First load dev’t, [B]COL (3.34”[/B] base to tip not ogive) with the following powder capacity: -68.5G, 69G, 69.5G, and 70G – none registered better than picture 1 (2) Second load dev’t, [B]COL (3.62”[/B] – don’t ask why … just wild guess … it clears mag and load fine) with the following powder capacity. Shots @ 100 yards. [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/705gH4831SC.jpg[/IMG] Picture 1 - 70.5G [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/P9250353.jpg[/IMG] Picture 2 - 71G [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/P9250354.jpg[/IMG] Picture 3 - 71.5G Note: No cleaning done for all 9 shots, approximately 3-5 minutes barrel cool off between shots. There are no obvious signs of excessive pressure at this time. Do I press on up on powder? Do I keep the COL of 3.62"? I appreciate any advise or insight that you might have. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding. V/R Ed [/QUOTE]
