I had 15 cases left from the 300 fire formed 6 BR cases. All the others have been loaded once more and shot in a match or as a test round. So I loaded up 7 with 31.7 Grs of N-140, hand weighed charges.
Then I switched over to the Win PR StaBALL 6.5. I did not hand weigh these charges, but instead used the BR-30 on the LNL.
I ran a LOT of cases through the LNL weighing each powder charge, moving the handle smoothly and letting it bump ever so lightly at the bottom of the stroke, which would lightly jostle the powder in the measure. A LOT!
I ended up at 42.7 on the BR-30 where I thought the average would be pretty close to 36.7 Grs of PR 6.5, so I ran another ten charges through it weighing each one.
I got 36.56, 36.68, 36.54, 36.72, 36.66, 36.80, 36.72, 36.78, 36.66, & 36.78 for an
Avg 36.69 Grs.
Then I threw 7 more charges and used them to charge 7 cases.
36.78, 36.86, 36.64, 36.72, 36.68, 36.70, & 336.76 for an
Avg 36.734 Grs
I also loaded one round with 32.0 grs of RL-15, which is what I have been shooting in the matches and have loaded up for the Altus shoot in Dec. If I had known they were going to postpone the match from Oct, I would have tested 32.3 Grs of RL-15 prior to loading and would have used that instead this time.
I go off call Monday at 7:00 AM and will look for a nice afternoon to shoot these after work next week.
Nearly ten years ago I modified my
Redding 10X & BR-30 measures to drop automatically on the LNL. Works real well. Now a days you can just add the
RCBS or
Hornady linkage and use it in any station on the LNL
