Nice shootin @jjohnsonElknewbie
Thank you sir!Nice shootin @jjohnsonElknewbie
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback. All of the load dev for this rifle has been on hot Iowa summer days with high humidity, so hopefully temp. influence has already showed itself. If its 80+ degrees with 60+% humidity in WY on 11/23, we've got bigger problems! J/K and thanks again.
Thank you for the feedback, and I'll remember that. The primer I had come loose the other day I'm almost certain was due to a case being misaligned in the shell holder and the primer "crunching" in when I seated it (Redding press "swing arm" priming approach). It looked fine externally, but this is my best guess. If that ever happens again while priming, it will be a no go for that round.Temperature aside, you could get water in your chamber and have issues in short order as well. If primers are falling out of pockets on Alpha OCD brass you're pretty dang hot and 0.2 isn't going to move the needle much.
Loaded 40 rounds of .22arc with 88gr eld-m, Lapua once fired brass and CCI 450 primers.
10 are 30.1 grs. N550.
10 are 30.4 grs. N550.
10 are 29.5 grs. LeverEvolution.
10 are 29.8 grs. LeverEvolution.
Used a Lee Six Pack Pro and weighed the charges with an AutoTrikler V4.
Rifle is a 22" bolt gun. All are from 10 rounds. Groups are at 100 yards. Bullets are about .023" from touching.Interested to see your numbers just shot a little over 28gr of 550 with 88s yesterday and got good results
