Haha so true! I did get to Helena this weekend and saw those boxes of Hornady eldm ammo. Then saw the price and was reminded why I handload But let's be real that's way more expensive.

Gunna go ahead and get the brass primed. Payday hits I'll run to Scheels first some bullets.

Would you guys be happy here with 77TMK’s in 16.5”, 5 shot group right at .5”? I feel like as a new reloader I really should be?

 

[Pwb199]

I wouldn't waste any more time on load development

It’s only 5 shots but that looks good to me. I’d load up another 50 and shoot before any hunts and make sure nothing weird happens with pressure or anything and then rock on.

I would probably call it for this season. Not sure what powder you are using but you likely have room to get a bit more juice out of her so long as the accuracy holds or do don’t get any pressure signs.

N555 and 2.105”.

What did you get for speed?
Same barrel length I've got. What powder?


Checked my shelf. Found about 20 or 77 grain Bergers and some 69 grain Hornadys I think they were. Stuff I'd bought for my AR. Enough to load up some rounds to get me on paper at a hundo and start load dev.

That was 0.6gr below a very light ejector mark doing a pressure ladder. I was hoping for a touch more speed but I'm tired of tinkering and want to settle on a load for this fall, loaded up 100 last night with that recipe.
