bubbasks Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well went out for a little testing today. First time testing out 44 spl in my SBH and man i must say it was a pleasure to shoot. But the fun was with the 308. Tested 2.820 and 2.830. First up was .830 and it shot eh. Bout the same as .800. Let the rifle cool back down for half hr and went on to .820. First target really shows what happens as the barrel warmed up. And a 10 round after warm resulted in this. I do think ive found my load.

bubbasks Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Single feeding. The .820 fits fine. Any bigger it rubs bad. Factory dpms 10rd steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mineralman55 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 What powder is "H4835"? Is this some new, super secret formulation? Let us in on it! Or as most of us here did you score a 450 on the English part of the SATs? ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Alright smart ass. I was trying to leave a little wiggle room with the 3.750 I threw out at you. Here's the mag. And a factory Hornady 285 gr BTHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 The lead sled kinda takes all the fun out of printing good groups <dontknow> Sure shows what the rifle & ammo is capable of, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbasks Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) The lead sled kinda takes all the fun out of printing good groups <dontknow> Sure shows what the rifle & ammo is capable of, though.Thats the point of load development. To make the best load for a gun and anything after that is shooter. The sled is only used for testing. Removing shooter reduces variables. All groups outside of development are on the shooter Edited January 2, 2014 by bubbasks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
