Quickload. 243

[Mark120555]

Good afternoon. Does anyone have quick load or vast reloading experience that could answer a couple of questions for me with regard to Vhit powder and 20" barrel. Also, for case h20 volume do you measure in fired or resized case?

Thank you

Mark

Use a case fired in your chamber and leave primer in.
Meniscus or not?
Can’t see it making much difference but you could try with a convex one then scrape it off and measure with cancave one.
Can’t help with powder burn, sorry.

Hi there.

I ran some data through GRT (Gordon's loading tool) and with a 20" barrel using N160 I had insufficient powder burn so i swapped N160 out for N140 and had 100% burn rate.

Thanks for that, don't have acess to a PC atm. Have N150 as well, do you think that would be a good compromise?

Thank you, I have N140,150,160 and was wondering which powder was best, isn't clear from Vhit online data as they use a 24" barrel. Will get GRT as soon as I have acess to a computer, watched a few YouTube with it and it looks to give good simulation for start point testing.
