Background:
Okay, I'm working up some loads for the range tomorrow. I have the standard Ladder Loads with varget and 168gr Match, 150gr BTHP, 155gr AMAX and some Federal 150gr SP factory ammo for barrel break in. The rifle is new a new Savage 10FP 308 Win.
I made up 10 dummie rounds with 155gr A-MAX and seated them long. Chambered them then measured the COL/AOL. They averaged from 2.8285" to 2830".
Question:
Normally I load 308 Win to 2.800" AOL so the above would indicate that with there AMAX 155gr pills I'm going to have a .030" jump to the lands. Would you recommend that I make some ladder loads to try different seating depths?
