I got my dies last week and with Thanksgiving travel I only had a little time Sunday to work on loads.
Once my dies were setup I took 3 cases to run through load development, and continued reloading for my torture test.
They're at 8 reloads now without annealing and going strong
I've only tried 3 powder so far, H1000, 4831SC, and N555.
I'm just using standard large rifle primers (Fed 210).
Here's where I'm at so far with 115 Bergers:
54 grains H1000- 3012 fps with an SD of 12, cloverleaf 5 shot group at 100, slight bolt lift no ejector marks.
51 Grains N555- 2995 SD 5.8
Photo of 6 shot group, no pressure signs.
Haha yeah if only they were taking orders..
I'm loving the effortless accuracy, can't wait to get my 25 SAS barrel in the next month or two.
I'll run it for NRL matches this season
