RyanMc Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Hi PW fans.... Does anyone have a few different bullets heads around, looking to get a small sample of a few different types/weights to try a few loads out before I commit to buying 100/500 of a certain type. Looking anything in the region of 53-70gn heads with softpoint or ballistic polymer tip. x10 of each perhaps. Payment via PayPal inc postage waiting. Based in NI. Thanks, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 if you don't mind me asking what barrel twist have you got as you are looking to go up to 70 grn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMc Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Hi Rim Fire, 1-9 twist. I've tried PPU 69gn and it didn't like them, but It was more the ammo than the bullet weight, over pressure, blown primer etc. fired a few and started to notice stopped at the blown primer. Finding it hard to find any factory ammo or components (that aren't in larger qtys at least) locally in varied weights to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have 100 Sierra 55gn blitzking heads to try, working up in very small increments from the starting load to see what works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMc Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 I've done a batch of x25 in x5 round batches from 1.39gram (21.45gn) - 1.43gram (22.07gn). Max load listed is 1.62gram (25gn). Want to test that range in small increments then once something stands out, work on the neck tension and seating depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMc Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 I got sorted locally after some further digging around RFD's. Just hard to find what you want! Got a few loads made up and shot at 50yards, as wasn't sure how well they would group wanted everything on target. largest group 3/4", smallest group 1/4" at 50yrds. % shot groups. 1.62gram of N133 and 55gn heads don't work... blown primer, and signs of over pressure. slight sign at 1.60gram powder but no hard bolt lift etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
