Here's 6.5staball and 108s. I'd have to look for charge weight. View attachment 805690

Interested in charge weight if you find it. I have an 8lb jug of staball 6.5 I need to start burning.

What kind of speed are you getting out of the 4831sc load? Hornady lists max at 47.1 for the 108 out of a .243.

What charge weight of h4350? Somewhere in the 41.3-41.9 range should produce sub-.5" 5 shot groups assuming the shooter is up to it.

Ill check the notes but I'm pretty sure we ran from 39-42 h4831sc shot a touch better and we're about to try h1000 on sat , and possibly some 90 grain eldx as the store was sold out of 103s

@Tcmo-33 has a good load with 108s.

Bottom left hole from another target. Load data in pic. Start low work up….

I think velocity’s were right around the same as my h4350 load. Factory barrel cut at 16” 2760fps
I stuck with h4350 because I had more of it and accuracy was the same.
Maybe Hornadys info is correct but I felt weird about adding more powder when I was already compressed.

Try 41.3 h4350 .02" from lands.

H1000 shot well in the 47.6 to 48.2 range for me but not as good as h4350. 3000fps at 48gr. I will likely test it again given all the barrel life talk.

We tryed at the rifling 20...40...50...60 thou off both h4831sc and h4350 h4350 we went from 37-42.5 grains well try h1000 this week end and I'll report back so far we've shot 112 of the 108 eldm trying g to get them to shoot lol..... if anything were breaking it in lol.
