I will let you know when I get home tonight the exact load. Been using it for a while now.
 
2.806 is this tip to head or did you use a comparator gage
was thinking of a fox load for the sako iv not use nosler bullets in 30cal so are they sp, hp, or bt #number !
thanks

(Why am I always the Johnny RainCloud here??) How many times will it put two shots into a hole like that? Or was it just the once? You do know that statistically speaking, those two shots were a non event, right? It'd be a shame to hang your hat on a load that in reality gives 3.5 MOA but just happened to toss a couple at the same spot one time.~Muir

I had a great load for nosler partitions. Shot two groups about an inch or so and thought I was good to go. After shooting a few more groups, just to be sure, it became clear the two groups were luck and the average group size was about 5 inches.

A lot of what we do and know when reloading has no statistical significance.

+1 Two shots aint a group its a coincidence.....Shoot us a nice 5 or 10 shot group and let us know how you get on.

fair enough but don't boast on here about your accurate load without 5 shot groups for evidence , there is some knowledgeble people on here and i'm afraid i'm in there camp and would like to see more than two shots?

Hi, sorry to put a damper on things but measuring to the tip of the bullet is a really poor way of loading! Always use a comparator body with the relevant calibre insert. Your bullet heads will be VERY different lengths if you measure them bare and anyone thinking of using this form of measurement with soft points (and lots do) will be pi**ing in the wind, and I know you are using BT's but they still vary by a mile. Oh and I am sorry but I really do have to agree with the others, a 2 shot group! are you serious? Any group should be a minimum of 4 shots to be considered.
 
Can't be arsed ,you lads go knock yourselfs out with your special gauges for this and that I haven't got time .anyway must go , got to go and shoot some deer
​have fun typing

don't need speacial gauges , just more than two shots?
