NOE has bushing sizers that will facilitate a person to size the nose of a bullet.
WELL PRETTY WELL SATISFIED HERE!!
AA1680 has been treating me proud with a 180 SSP in my 357 Maxi carbines. Nothing shot as consistently well.
I have tried it before in the 350, but never pushed things.
Last week I sized up 30 pcs and primed then neck expanded them. Last night I charged three pcs of each charge weight starting at 24 stopping at 28g.
QL said 27.8 was 55K.
I adjusted my OAL leaving a Acceptable jump to the rifling. I settled on 2.150 as a nice round number.
This AM was clear and calm no appreciable winds. Harris bipod and a rear bag. I shot three three shot groups and cooled it for about 15-20 minutes. Groups where nothing to brag on 3-6" . Yea, yea, I know 5 shots is a group. Well, Im happy with three. Ill do more once I have gotten better loads. Its all in process. I like to refine things down in steps. I havent hit the 5 shot step...
Anyhow no flyers today like I saw with the 150 Remington. But more like patterns then groups till I hit 27.5g!!!
Tommyboy. I was knocking on 2100!!!!!
24g was 1800's and 28g was almost 2100 AVG!!
Here is the target over view. Charge weights and a vel listed from memory.
27.5 was remarkable when ya see what everything else shot!!
So now I have two loads to refine!
