JohnGalway Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 The black squares on the target, they're an inch from side to side yeah? If so, I'd be happy. Unless you're shooting the danglies of midges? Foxing gun mostly? HP will do the job, BT are cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v-max Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hello Dougy i hated them speer HP i was after match & gun shop got it wrong.Did you mean BT (balistic tip) or (boattail).Try load 3/5 round's at start then the same 3-4 time's till your max data so you have about 3-4 load's of 3/5 round's to try from start medium to max & see fit group's.I have done this with mate's 243 in 80g nosler BTip & found that my 3rd set of 3 load's worked well at 41g H380 but i can go to 43g but he wanted to try to that & the last load's worked a treat.This is fit i do with any new bullet's that i have untested & i seat on or 10/30thou fae the land's then i might play with point odd of a grain or primmer's etc but normally just do my set's of 3-4 load's start to max & try & get a result that work's.

Bit of a novice on this so please bare with me. i have had some good help from Ive and Miffy on this as its my first CF. we have tried loads from 33grns > 37grns tried changing the seating depths and 5 different bullet heads. A max/ V max Nosler/ Speer hollow point V max moly pluss factory ammo. And different powders. and primers. it could be down to having just over200 through that its improved, i dont know. as for 41grns well its showing sighns of pressure at 37 so 41 i thinks pushing it a bit, dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hello have you cleaned it? & 41g H380 in my mate's 243 not 22.250.I have a few powder's but work Vit N140 but you have H380 the same burnning rate realy!. 50g bullet H380 MAX 38g or (41g Hodgdon 2000 manual) 52/53g H380 MAX 38g 55g bullet H380 MAX 37g or (41g Hodgdon 2000 manual) I used to get on great with BL-C2 33.3g 55g v-max 5p group & got more for £10 with varget for £10 to try i use cci primmer but got fed 210 & 210match but think i will go back to cci as i did well with them.Watch match primmer's & max load's as these primmer's burn hotter & create greater pressure than normal primmer's.Try playing with seating depth on land's & even well back off & see some thing might just click.
