Thread: Fluking Load Developement

Can't really beleive I nailed it out of the box!

Picked up some components for the Wifes 7mm08.
6.5 StaBall, AMP Annealled once Fired Hornady Brass, 210M Federal LR Match Primers and 140gr Nosler Silver Tips.

I am still very much in my early days of Reloading, but have just started playing with seating depths.

The wife was running low on her preferred ammunition so I decided I wouldn't run a ladder straight away, but would throw something together, didnt need to be perfect, just needed to be minute of Goat within 100meters.

Decided a full 1gr below Hornady Max would be the target. So I loaded up a bunch and ran 3 different seating depths; 20, 30 & 40 thou.

Didnt have time to run them over a chrono, but starting with the 40 thou, I ended up with this straight away...

Cold bore to the right, 2 follow ups stacked on the left.


Let barrel cool and another 3 to verify, much the same.
I would say ready to go!

Taken me about 100rnds through the 6.5 PRC to get similar results!
6.5 PRC = 57.3gr 2217, AMP Annealed Hornady Brass, 210M Federal Primers, 143gr ELD-X seated to 20 thou off lands.
