partition seating depth

[stew]

Well, I had a bad experience with R19 in the 338WM and the 185XLC. I had worked the load up around 55deg and when I tried it at 10deg I got patterns and lost 200+fps! I pulled the loads and they were caked, had to use a screwdriver to dig it out. I went to H4350, worked up a Manual load and killed my cow elk at 250yds! so, for me, no R19 in magnums, ha.

I decided to try some thing different today and did 2 loads with H4350 and 2 with IMR 7828 with the 210 Partition looks like 7828 might be what my gun likes.
H4350 did have one pretty good load as well .
The 7828 worked best with the 225 gr speers as well but with both bullets it kicks noticeably harder then then the other powders.

Ya loaded up a box of each of the 225 speers and the 210 partitions both with Imr 7828 for now, so had some ready for any friends that wanted to use the gun for spring bear.
Both ended up at 74 gr and about the same impact point.
Will play around with the RL 19 later have to find more bullets first.
Will work on some different loads in a couple other guns now.
