Just got back from the range yesterday and had eight different load test to do for my new remington SPS varmint. I saw a very interesting trend.
it seems the milder loads with a 40 grain v-max were a bit erratic (largest measured slightly over 1'' smallest was about .8'')
however the best load was a few grains over maximum reccomendation, it was showling the slightest hint of wanting to crater the primer but not quite, and the cases didnt grow. that load however was turnig in a lot of great groups. best measured .400 and largest was .754.
Just curious if anyone had siilar experience it faster it went the tighter it got. which is usually the opposite for my biger bores.
any thoughts? i am playing with the idea of moving down to 34 or 32 grain bullets bcause my twist is reccomended for maximum 40 grin bulets.
what do ya have for me?
