[762 ULTRAMAGA]

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.

Cool cartridge, would consider if lapua made brass for it with zero extra work needed

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

Awesome! Thank you! I need another project like a hole in my head but I’ve got a barrel, brass and an extra stock to start

And a wheelbarrow full of H-1000 in the cabinet

This is awesome
Very interested in your results with the 25

Nice!
Manson got my 25 SAS reamer to me in like 3 weeks, I think it was because they were tooled up already since it's the same dimensions as the 6 that they'd made.

McGowen just called me this afternoon to clarify a few details before chambing, should get it in two weeks!

Nice, I did pretty much the reverse of what you did with yours. Started with the 25 and now I'm looking at doing a 6mm version.

Would be pretty cool to get a reamer back as fast as you did.

How much difference is there between this, which I think is really cool, and a 243 AI?

They're totally different cases with the SAS being a magnum, neck length is much shorter on the 243, and the oal will be a little longer.
No idea velocity wise

I understand the physical differences, the performance differences are what I’m asking about.
