That's a good explaination. Auto correct on my phone took secant and made it "decent ogive" haha. So I should mess with seating depth on the amaxs since they're more of a secant.

Some interesting posts. To the one above: then why would people claim a decent ogive is very jump dependent and a 175 SMK is jump tolerant? Fwiw it will be for two 308s. A rem 700 with a deep throat 2.940" and a savage short throat 10fcp with lands at 2.807". Bullets are 178amaxs. I can...

Thanks. Editted to add that it is for a precision rifle and the groupings will be tested at 200 or 300 yards. Depends how wind looks that day.

I've worked up an optimal charge. Now it is time for seating depth. I am loading 50 rounds. Should I load 5 groups of 10 rounds each at 0.010" differences or 10 groups of 5 rounds each at 0.005" differences? I am leaning towards the 5 groups of 0.010" and extrapolating info from it since 5...

He is definitely thorough. I've enjoyed his work.

I didn't see your post until now. Did you notice it or shoot the next shot? Scary stuff.

I've most definitely had a couple backwards primers as well as failed to seat primers from my progressive.... When I was newer I also learned the importance of trimming cases when I loaded up some test .223 rounds and about 50% were too long to chamber... That's why they were a test batch...

How much are 1#'ers going for at BPS? They had a few single pounds where I went. But, after reading the reviews, I was willing to take the gamble. Plus I was down to my last 1/2 lb of unique and haven't seen it or any other pistol powders I want in stock for months. It'd really annoy me to buy...

So I was in my LGS looking for UUO(ununobtainium, aka unique) and of course it was not to be found. But they did have 8 lbs jugs of BE-86. I took a gamble and picked one up for $133. If I can get the results reported, I think I scored at ~$16.62/lb Depending how it goes, I will grab a second...
