What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Ringbill27]

I’m messing around with the 168ttsx and big game in the 30-06.

Loaded some deer season loads for my .280 Rem. Sierra 150 gr. Gamechanger over N560 in Norma brass with a Fed 210M to get the party started. Does a 1.1” 10 shot group at 2880 fps.

What charge did you start with?

 

[hoooogan]

Did up a 7RM ladder to go along with my 6.5CM selection for this weekend. 175gr ABLR, 0.040" jump, H1000, Norma Brass, 215M. Just looking for velocity and pressure.

Loaded up another 100 77 tmks.

Spent some time laying out some reloading projects to pass time post neck surgery this winter. Sucks, I shoot a lot more in the winter than I do in the summer, so not only am I not got to be shooting, I’m not going to have much going on on the bench either.

Here is what I came up with. There is not much published data that I could find for this combo. It seems that most people settle somewhere between 25-26gr. I will post my results, but please proceed at your own risk.

Spent way too much time trying to get 180 hybrids and H1000 to shoot out of a new 7prc.
It just doesn't repeat. Even at 20 off the lands, boattail is way ahead of the junction. Seems odd as it should be a SAAMI chamber.

Gave up and loaded 195's and N570. Pressure at 72gr. Boattail is in same position as my 7STW, just above the neck radius. Will load some around 69 and see if it repeats.

.280 Mandrel? Hell yeah, brother. Good to see another robust loader out there, none of that sissy thousandth stuff, lol. That ladder looks like that load is gonna shoot lights out! Keep us posted with results, I'll be doing some 7 PRC testing myself this winter.
