Bully 749 Posted October 9, 2017 Yup. They fly great. I don't shoot 30cal any longer so don't have load data but I went off the book. Just watch your OAL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golf battery 1,223 Posted October 9, 2017 Thats the question. I read use same load data as 168 smk just go off the ogive. I made a batch and gonna try it out tomorrow. Im at 2.875 oal with backing off .30 for my headspace. I think with the bc theyll be great if i can find some data knowledge. Id rather not do the work. If someone else has already Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone else has already You're always gonna have to do SOME work. Every rifle is a bit different. Try posting on AccurateShooter. There is a wealth of knowledge on that site especially in the reloading arena. You could do Sniper's Hide as well although I personally loathe that site.

Hes saying that he measured oal till the bullet hits the lands and backed it off 30 thousandths Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted October 9, 2017 Golf - Don't be afraid to touch the lands if it's single shot provided you have full support of the bullet in the case neck. Then back off 5-10 thousands at a time. Shoot for group at each increment. My 243Win shoots best at the "Jam" only problem is once you have one in the chamber you have to pull the trigger.
