Accuracy Results From My First Handloads!

[84jeepj10]

Load: 30-06 Sprg
165grn Nosler Solid Base Ballistic-tip Boattail
Remington new case only neck sized and chamferred/deburred
Federal #210m Bench Rest primer
H4350 @54.5grn
Cartrige overall length: 3.310"

Rifle: Tikka T3 Light Stainless LH 30-06 Sprg

Target distance 50 meters, about 54.5 yards (wasn't able to go out to 100 meters, about 109 yards, because it was a military base range and it wasn't cleared out to that distance during the weekdays).
My measurement from center left hole to center right hole is 3/16" which would be 3/8" at 100 meters. I know I still have some refining to do as there were problems with some of my other loads, but this is very promising.

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like a nice load, even at 50 meters.
BTW, you missed the dime. :lol:

I also purchased a Tikka T3 lt stainless left hand in a 300 wsm, I love it. Havn't had too much time developing loads but I did get a screaming 110 gr to group under a half minute. (in process of working on half minute 165 gr hunting round.) Not trying to hijack your link, just congragulating you on a good choice in a rifle.

Welcome and good job!

Thanks. My next move is to work it down into .1grn sets from 44.1grn to 44.9grn and test that . Then switching to Federal brass, I know I'm gonna have to rework the powder a little. Then case length tweak and I think I'll leave it at that. my current group is more than sufficient to hunt with, but I just can't leave "good enough" at that.

Expect that group to open up at 100 yards. That'll give you a true measure of your load. Did you chronograph that load by the way? or do you own one. If not , I recommend you to invest on one before you start working up loads.

 

[84jeepj10]

Don't own one. They are very expensive.

Actually, you can get a decent one (an F1 from Chrony) for about $80-90, and someone had the Alpha Master Chrony on sale the other day for $99, but I can't remember who. There is another thread on here about chronographs that should tell you. See this thread:
