Thread: "Karhu" A.K.A "Finnish Bear" 30-06 load developement

Progress update.....
Went to the range today to give the bear a bit of air
Shot 2 rounds of my previously proven hopeless rounds and was immediately confronted by the fact they were still hopeless (was quietly hoping ladt session I was just having a bad day, I wasn't)
Seated 3 of thd loaded rounds to SAAMI COAL and shot a 3 shot group. I will point out my hand loads where seated much much longer than SAAMI so this was purely just experimental to see if seated to SAAMI length would improve things.
I only shot 1 group but it was .945" which is a damn sight better than any of the recent groups I've shot with it.
I will bump a few more back to SAAMI COAL next chance I get to go to the range and hopefully things stay consistent.
If they do I will be more than happy with that, may or may not tutu the seating depth from there but would need to go back over my notes to see what I've already tried.
Definitely feeling a little more positive about things but unsure when I'll get back to the range yet......life is mostly consumed withh all tjongs landcruiser related currently.
