that’s a big mug of coffee, probably need it for all this thinking your doingRound two of loading. I had a partial box of the Sierra. 311 150s part number 2300 and I loaded a ladder between 44.5 and 46.5. According to load data max was 46.8 but I'll leave those tenths on the table for someone else. I found out I was done, when I ran out of bullets and had 11 cases remaining. I had 3 Hornaday. 312s 150s so I loaded those up at 45.5 because otherwise they would just be laying around.... imr 4064 was the flavor of the day at 3.050. Let's see how these new cases do. Hopefully the hammered flat primers are no longer a thing....View attachment 1197855View attachment 1197856View attachment 1197857
We talking 'bout the same round....?At present, my maximum case length is 2.320"
Yes because that is my actual chamber length measured by my Sinclair gauge. My maximum cast length in fact will be 2.318". Most of my resized/fireformed brass cases are 2.270" and the bullets are seated so the OAL is 3.100 and in the magazine. The 2.270" cases cannot hold a bullet far enough so it touches the rifling. The 2.318" can so I use this to find an accurate load for long-range use.We talking 'bout the same round....?
I thought my chamber was long at 1.936, that case length I would need a picture to see where that brass is... although I think yours is measuring a bigger case than mine. I still don't see how case head seperations aren't rampant...We talking 'bout the same round....?
He stated he wanted to get a 150 to touch the lands…..I thought my chamber was long at 1.936, that case length I would need a picture to see where that brass is... although I think yours is measuring a bigger case than mine. I still don't see how case head seperations aren't rampant...
You better grease the heck out of those lugs...He stated he wanted to get a 150 to touch the lands…..
At that length, prolly just jam a 30-06 in there and let it fireform itself….!!!!….
Do you plan to go max...?my top load of 46.5 grains of imr-4064. I'm now curious about that .3 left on the table
The only reason I planned on going max was the character of the powder.... I don't need any more, but optimal burn is intriguing. I have a single box of Sierras in the 174 matchking. Im not pushing to test it because their not available....Do you plan to go max...?
I'd be curious, as you prolly are also, to see those results....
Do you plan on testing the 174gr at some point...?
I was thinking more of the Hornady 174 Interlocks...................they are readily available...The only reason I planned on going max was the character of the powder....

You mail them I'll test emI was thinking more of the Hornady 174 Interlocks...................they are readily available...
I have started my testing with them.......................................just asking you....................You mail them I'll test em
I shot 3 150 interlocks today, not bad... I test and shoot what I get in barter. Well junior shoots what I get... I'm fully absorbed in the loading. I have a hired trigger jerkI have started my testing with them.......................................just asking you....................
Wellllllllll..........................................................................................................maybe HE hired a loader..........................I shot 3 150 interlocks today, not bad...

Wait! Having kids is supposed to PAY??!!Well the pay sucks
Are you observing any left or right groupings? I noticed my loads walk right as I went up in power... more spin drift????? It appears your shooting noe cast... pictures of your bullets and load data requested... I figure I would get normal loads sorted before I go cast... and I will!!!!Old target but better prints to come. 100yd and 200 yd prints.
Yes. Here are two ladder tests I printed: Hornady 7.7-150SP and 7.7-150ttsx. The POI climbed and converged to the right as the powder charge increased 0.2gr at a time.Are you observing any left or right groupings?
