Evening all
Thanks again for the previous advice, being new to reloading it was much appreciated.
I have been through the whole process and loaded my first test batch in 308 with N140 powder, fed 210 primers, 150 grain nosler BT in once fired federal brass, all to 2.800” OAL as per nosler book
Results as attached at 100m
My rifle was left unaltered from shooting factory 150 grains and was spot on, just gave it a good clean and fouled it before shooting these groups, leaving the barrel to cool between each load group.
Since loaded some more 42.5, 43 and 43.5 but in once fired sako and everything else the same. This time the 42.5 was the only decent group so this seems to be my load. Surprised by the difference between the case manufacturers (unless it was me) so just ordered some new Lapua cases so everything consistent and so I gain confidence.
My rounds are only for hunting, so just after consistency and sufficient accuracy.
Any comments welcome, thank you.
