[QUOTE="Super-X, post: 454704, member: 23972"] Took the rifle out today to check some loads with RE-17 and the 162g Amax bullet. The rifle: Lawton 400x, 24 in Kreiger 1 in 8 twist in JP MOR 07 chassis. outside air temp 55 ish degrees, clear and sunny. The loads : Win. cases once fired neck sized Rem 9 1/2 primers aged 15 yrs + 162g Amax seated to 2.965 with a .055 jump - an experiment to see how it would shoot if I milled the ramp to accept the Alpha 10 rnd box mag. They will take an oal to 2.965. Started with 40.0g RE17 and ended up at 43.0g , max is 44.0g. The 42.5 and 43.0 grouped much tighter, under .5 with the lower loads upwards to .75 ish. No flat primers or bolt lift issues - overall happy with the loads. My current 10 rnd box mags only accept 2.820 oal loads. My goal here is find a load with a high bc (.625) that would shoot reliably from the new Alpha mags at 2.965. Plan to shoot to 600 yds @ paper targets. Sorry no chrono data. Super-X [/QUOTE]
