Hello i'm a newbie to your great site! Just purchased a Savage model 12 Varmint(BTCSS) in .223 1 in 9" twist. Any ideas what bullet weights & powders I should begin reloading/testing?
Just to give you a picture of what i'm doingbriefly)
Brass prep.
1.trim to length (all the same from manuals specs)
2.flash hole ream
3.all the same manufacturer's Brass
4.measure O.A.L. in chamber with comparator to lands,come back starting at 10-15 thousands
5. hand weigh all powders (digital scale) with rifle loads
6. will start to neck resize after first firing of brass(brass specifically used in one rifle only)
I used to shoot in 5 rnd groups but went to 3 rounds to save $$,any other ideas or recommendations? SgtRock04
