[QUOTE="windypants, post: 2780315, member: 121068"] I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning the process for reloading and tuning for long range accuracy from very knowledgeable people on several forums. I’ve got a great load figured out for this rifle, but there’s always more I want to experiment with and learn. Here’s my load: ADG 28 Nosler brass expanded to .30 cal. The necks are very uniform so I don’t turn them (+/-.0005). I haven’t been annealing this batch and that seems to be working so far (3X fired). Right now I’m full-length sizing with a .332 neck bushing and .002 shoulder bump ( Micron die), followed with .3025 expanding mandrel. Imperial dry lube and burnish the inside of the necks with tight nylon brush on a drill (Alex’s trick). Alex gave this chamber .280 free bore so that the bullet will be seated above the doughnut area of the neck to eliminate potential problems there. I plan to do more testing with bushings and mandrels to find out what prints the best groups. Alex doesn’t anneal or use mandrels. Berger 230 OTM’s seated .018 OTL. I don’t chase the lands, just check occasionally to see if I need to seat .003 longer. I haven’t tried many other bullets. All I know is that bergers have never disappointed. I upgraded to LE Wilson in-line seating die with an arbor press and am very happy with that set-up— very consistent. Federal 215 primers and 87.9 gr. N570 rounds out this load at 3125 fps. All of my load development was done by shooting three shot groups at 1077 yards. I knew I was there when this load shot a 2.75” group with 0” vertical. [/QUOTE]
