Sunday, you might want to recheck some of your figures. I clocked 6 grains at 850, 6.2 average of 890 (5 shots) and 6.4 at 915 avg. Thats a pretty hard hitting load considering some +p loads are right at 900 fps. These guys are right in that 915 fps with a 230 grain bullet is hard on a gun. At...

Awesome info, thanks again. I'll stick with a lighter load and be done with it.

6.0 did more than acceptable, but 6.2 and 6.4 was outstanding in comparison. I'll do some more thinking and reserve the hot loads for self defense rounds. Would a stiffer wolf recoil spring alone help reduce the abuse on the gun itself? Or is it not that easy?

Thanks for the replies. I like the 230 grain, so I'll likely drop back to 6.0 or 6.2 grains of powder and run with it. 6 grains didn't perform nearly as well, but 6.2 seemed fine. I'll make note and keep these loads more for carry loads and plink with lighter loads. I may even look into a...

230 JHP 6.4 grains Unique 915 fps 120 OAL Mixed LP once fired brass 6.4 grains is at the top end of "standard" loads and most +p loads are around 950 fps from what little research I've done. I don't do much shooting, just plinking on the weekends and paper punching. This load shot...

Let me rephrase that. I agree it may not be the ideal situation, but it is done more than some want to admit with good results. No worries, I'll pick up some LP primers when I can. I bet that fixes my problem.

I'm sure you are right, however there are lots and lots of people who do use large rifle primers in large pistol cases. I used some one time that were too tall, that was not the case here. I'll pick up some LP primers if I can find some, but for now the cci LR will be my next step. I'll be sure...

I'm fairly sure they were in fact large rifle primers. While it's a common practice, maybe it's not for my gun. I'll try some cci large rifle just to see how they do, and only because I have a few thousand of them. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the reply. The inside of the back looks nasty. Not clean and uniform like the cci primers I compared them to. I use a hand priming tool and some of these primers show a mark from the pressure of seating them. Maybe I'll have better luck with newer primers.

I've had several misfires from my sig 220. I've read about light primer strikes and initially thought the malfunction was the gun, not the primers. My sig 1911 shot these primers just fine. My 220 still gives a lighter primer strike and won't always set them off. They are Winchester LR or LP...

Good info, thanks. Do you know how many loads he got out of those before they crapped out on him?

Hey, how'd that R-P case get in ther?? LOL

Thanks for the replies. It's shooting appx 2626fps, so it will be my hunting load...for now.

Forgive the crappy pics...I tried. Three rows of Winchester are the load described above. Right ones are 168 grain SMK with same charge.

.308 175 grain berger 43.3-43.7 grains of 4064. No sticky bolt or any other issues and the listed max is 45.6 (depending on where you look). I have them seated at 2.877 and 2.93 is touching my lands.

Shot some more in the wind and rain today. 168 grain SMK shot great with 43.5 grains of 4064. That will be my target load for now and I hope the nossler bt's shoot nearly as good. Other groups are labeled with three different charges of 4064 over the 175 grain Berger. I have just about come to...

How hard is your neck tension when you seat the bullet? Stiffer than normal? Use a sharpie as suggested and rule out the coal being too long first. I cut slots in a spent case to be able to get a simple and accurate measurement to my lands. Sure makes things easy to read for me!

Drag function should be g7... Whatever that means. That's the difference in charts.

My bad I used the wrong drag setting. Now it's spot on with the other table posted. And still supersonic at 1k.
