[QUOTE="smokeumm, post: 938753, member: 20626"] I’m calling load development quits for now. Later this year I might do a ladder test for fun. This is what I used. Fed match 210 primer, lapua brass, H4831sc power, and 140grn berger hunting VLD’s. After testing seating depth, I determined approximately 0.003 into the riflings seem to work the best. Then I tested different powder charges, and anywhere between 43.5 to 44 grains was the most consistent. All tests where done at 185 yards (limited rifle range), it shoots consistent 1.5’’ five shot groups. Most times two or three shots touched or very close to touch with one or two fliers to push the group to 1.5”. My COL is 2.938”. If using a Hornady Lock N Load bullet comparator the COL is 3.271 (if set at zero) that is the more accurate measurement. Good luck with your bear hunt, update us with your hunting details???
