I've had my best success with the Nosler 165 ABLRs and the Berger 170 EOLs. The BC on both of those is very good. Also, may wanna try Magpro, my Browning X-Bolt loves it.
Picking up some Staball HD myself. Would like to get some Barnes #32112 155 gr. LRX as I think it would make a great moose / caribou load. So far tough to find up in my area. I am currently working with Barnes 129 gr LRX for a white tail loading. Keep up the great content!!
Aren't the "box" fps numbers based on using 26" barrels? I thought 26" barrels were the "norm" for most ammo makers to report their fps/energy numbers.
Yup, getting this cartridge in a 22 in barrel really neuters it’s true potential but since a lot of ppl are using suppressers nowadays they prioritize length over velocity
Trying different powders and different bullets is meaningful. Seeking flat spots in the powder charge vs MV graph is meaningless. IMO the optimum charge weight is one that is below pressure whilst yielding a case fill somewhere in the 99% to 105% range. Short fat cartridges appear to be more sensitive to charges below 100% fill compared to long skinny cartridges. My 300WSM with 175gr LRX really likes a compressed charge of H100V yielding consistently low SD’s. I used to run H4350 with 168TTSX with charges well below 100% fill but could not achieve consistency with that load. Cheers!
i had one of those stock packs on my rifle. everytime i shot i got vertical strings of about 2 inch no matter the load. i took it off and now get nice clusters under an inch with most ammo. Anyone else have anything like it happen?
Food for thought here: those flat spots are statistical noise and mean absolutely nothing. Unless you're shooting ~10 rounds of each load, natural variation in velocity will give you false flat spots or nodes. Testing with a large sample size shows that nodes don't exist and velocity increases proportionately with charge weight
Agreed but doing this tests allows for a starting point and where I can load more in the velocity range I like and test for statistical significance. Imagine if I loaded 10 rounds at what I thought was mid-to max load, I would have wasted 10 rounds because it’s not even close to my target velocity. Ten shot later should be everyone’s starting point rather than blindly loading 5 plus rounds of each charge

Thank you. Pretty boring ladder but we have to do them. Looking forward to a bit heavier charge and the other half with accuracy.
Do you recommend H4831SC for the 175 STGK?

Their website has them always in stock. Great bullet btw!

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
6.8 Western, it's going to come back strong..

Really good velocities out of only a 22" barrel
You should try the badlands bulldozer-2 150 gr with a G7 BC of .350.

what stock pack is that?
i forget the name but they are like 40 dollars. i had one and everytime i used my groups would string vertical a few inches. not sure why
What type of chronograph is that?
It's the new garmin chronograph
I'm just gonna say if ur shooting copper. It should be 3000 fps if ur shooting 200yrds plus
