I may not have been clear on this. I do not attest the coloration on the shoulders to my neck tension. I have never seen a case discolor of this nature. They are in my drying rack right now, I'm going to look at them after they have been cleaned to see what that color looks like now.
Neck...
This round was the second firing. I was curious about hardness too. It's Peterson and I have some 6.5prc that is on 8th round firing without annealing. Would seem odd that this would be so much further ahead even considering charge weights.
It was to show the heat signature, purple and blue coloring I was getting on the shoulder. I think what we are seeing on my neck is due to not enough neck tension and I need to drop my resizing bushing a size or two down. The lighting to show the discoloration makes the neck look completely...
Thank you for the detail! I grabbed some brass and bullets a few days ago and put some test loads together. Norma brass, hot core 130g bullets. If this doesn’t go in the right direction I may reach out to you and see what we can work out on interlocks. They are a consistent bullet!
Interesting day of shooting… I’m getting close but have a lot to figure out if I want to use this load for my shoot in a month.
Based on the data Dr Mike grabbed from QL I decided to test N160 and H1000 because I have those on hand and I have a lot of both. I did a handful of rounds in N160 and...
You probably are already familiar with both and if so, sorry for all the unneccesary detail haha.
All of these are pretty effective, I like the Gen 3 and 4 because you can remove the allen's and help with muzzle lift.

Fantastic rifle!
I'm assuming the barrel is threaded 5/8x24. if so, in my opinion of trying out many different breaks.. the fat bastard is hands down the best option out there.
I would certainly do your research and get what makes you feel the most confident, but from tunability and...
I was wasting time yesterday at my LFS. One of the guys in there showed me a new Savage 110 Ultralight and said he thought I would like it. I have not been much of a Savage fan the last few years mostly due to other people's guns that I have toyed with. I do not like the Accutrigger at all...
My nemesis, the 25-06 Vanguard haha
I'm going to load some rounds with Grand once we get at least back into double digits and stay there for a day or two. My game plan is load it in the 20's and dial it in.. make a handful of that dialed in load then shoot that round in various different temps...
Thank you for the detail and sharing your load results. That's a group that I would be happy with any day of the week!
I actually bought Grand on Thursday.. but for all the wrong reasons (broke a rule of mine in that I wouldn't use spherical powder anymore too haha). I know it has a big...
I pulled all the different load references online for and in my physical manuals as well. I referenced Speer, Berger, Nosler, and Hodgdons data for 130's. I looked at similarity's and ruled out any oddities from each manual. All of that is great data. I was hoping to compare it to real world...
Hello, I don't want to be a burden to anyone with QL access but when you have time can I get some help obtaining some QL data for my Mag?

I appreciate this detail. This is what i was hoping for when i made the post and a few have provided that. I used this data as a reference for starting out on these. I know it's a long shot in the dark, but I'm hoping for acceptable results.
This is essentially what I did on the test loads and what I am hoping for. I leave for TX on 2/8. I have three batches of test rounds and each batch has 3 rounds in it. I went moderate on all three and cam .01 less than max on the book spec. We shall see what results this yields and make...
