Found some time to shoot today. Been working on a load development for the 308 and Lapua 175 Scenars pushed by Varget. Been thinking to use this for a 600 yard match soon. Had some frustrations trying to make this thing shoot those Scenars .005" off the lands. Using a mild load of 42.9 grains Varget and adjusting settings depths. Groups shrunk on the last 3 loads. I may have pulled on the 2.211" load, shot went a little low. Going to redo those 3 loads but at 600 yards next time out. Will do further testing. First 3 pictures are the 308 loads.
Adjusting H4350 powder weight in tenth increments for the 6.5 Creedmoor to get the same speed I last used when it shot real well after running out of the old H4350 lot, new lot was a little faster that the old lot. Had to drop powder weight to 41.6 / 41.7 grains ( new lot ) from 42.4 ( old lot ) to get the same speed at 2700 fps with the 147 ELD-M's, both loads seem to be right on the money. POI is a little different but not much, but will test at 600. Last 2 pictures are the Creed loads.
