Thread: What Have You Loaded Today

Just loaded another 50 X Hornet rounds. Cases fired twice Hornady. 108 10.5grns ADI AR2207. CCI 400 primer (almost run out of those, changing to Remington Match Primers, for no good reason). Projectiles Nosler Shots 50grn Spitzer #48400 BC 0.2192 SD 0.142 L 0.640. Recommended OACL 1.850, but I've locked my Weihrauch CH66J in the bench vice and tired that length in the magazine and feed. Basically that length doesn't work for my rifle, so settled on 1.775.
Interestingly the Bibles show a range of COAL for 50grn projectiles: 1.723 Speer, 1.720 & 1.755 Sierra, 1.780 Hornady, 1.850 Hodgdon, 1.850 ADI.
The Nosler is the first and heaviest 50grn projectile I have loaded for the Hornet. It will be interesting to see how it groups and it's terminal results on pest animals.
