    It was too good to butcher into a 22-243 which was the original plan for the 595

    Mate you are just about to cross ten tonne
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Did some load development with 280Ackley today using Vihtavouri N165 and 168bergers. Tried the whole OCW thing, seems to work.
    All the groups seem to be more or less in the same vertical plane. I'm going to go with the top middle as my weight of choice.
    Was interesting to see the last shot of each charge was the one that opened up the group size. I saw this too when loading some 140 accubonds.

    How many loads is the brass on that fired those groups TB? The groups should improve markedly with the same load around the 3rd firing no matter how good your forming process is, in my limited experience with improved cals.
    How are you forming your cases?

    They were once fired. Used to fireform 280rem brass using AP70n and a patch but bought 280Ackley brass for this rifle.
    Was pleased it shoots the bergers loaded to mag length which is a country mile away from the lands.

    I was hoping the last shot on that top right group would go through the same hole as the first two!

    They're only expensive if you think it's a 7mm rem mag haha the nosler brass is soft so if you run it hot the pockets are toasted pretty quick. I can't remember who I got the brass from this time but it's not cheap, saves buggering about fireforming though.
