Finally back loading. After many years of my reloading gear being locked in a job box, seldom used. Typically, brass and projectiles were tossed inside whenever I thought I’d have time to work with a particular rifle and bought components, but without organizing I never really got around to it.
I did spend a week or two between the range and loading during Covid, but that wasn’t the best time with everything else going on around.
This is my new project, not a Nosler bullet, unfortunately. I’m having trouble getting them in Canada. Need some 7mm accubonds too, but once again, working with whatever I can get. I wiped out the powder specs for liability reasons, it was 1 grain increments and the three 7mm holes across the middle was sighting in a different rifle.
I was not seeing any pressure beyond the typically flattened primer, but that’s expected with a 300 grain. I should have room to go up a couple grains, but probably going to go back down a couple grains and come up in 0.5 grain increments at 300 yards and hoping to be able to get to 2650-2700 fps, but will settle for the 2600 I have if the ES stays single digits.
