Thread: First reloads and zero!

Did my first reloads today as hillclimber sent me some 95gr targex to try out im going to get addicted to this reloading caper!.Any way as per 7mmsum’s recipe 95gr targex 35gr 2208 and I used federal primers(which could have been a mistake) I also loaded some of my mates 100gr sierra spizter pills aswell we put 34gr of 2208 in but were not sure on that amount which someone on here will put us straight,I also set my pills as far forward as the chamber allowed.So down to the hundy yard range for the test! Steady crosswind and warm 19deg.Put in the targex first first round pulled the trigger click!.....what the fuck,I waited then pulled the round out expecting to see no primer but there was and it was well struck.after a small hui with my mate I carried on put in a sighter no probs then shot a reasonable 3 shot group and then switched to the sierra’s.I pit in 2 reasonble shots then click! Fuck sake same prob again I then put in a fourth round but it went well out prob a little flusterd.
So whats the verdict on fed primers?
And what grn of powder would you put in for the sierra rounds?
Cheers boys and girls it was pretty satisfying to reload and shoot the rounds today cant wait to do some more.
