@Mjolnir Spartan yeet

Not a boomer...just a well trained Gen -X'er

Any of y'all loading BLC-2?...I'm shooting 27gr. For a 55g hpbt Hornady...other data is free if you need it

@juliet.one.alpha (OK) loading 22.5-23gr of H322 with a 55gr bullet... why the variance in grain? Because that's how my powder measure throws it. Idk why.

But yeah, max loading on H322

Gonna try varget soon

Blc2...like it?

I load 24.7 gr Varget for the 68, and 23.7 for the 75(C.O.L is 2.235") for my Ruger rifle

@juliet.one.alpha (OK) I shoot 55 almost exclusively.

Good velocity, consistent grouping...

I know 55gr isnt great for target shooting, but I like standard weight rounds

Excuse the mess...this is my sons 300yd target with the ruger...flyer @ 12 is a 55gr. All others 68gr.

Interesting.

Twist rate on barrel?

1-7

I'm reloading for 1-9. Lighter round for the faster twist rate sorta deal

My AR is a NATO heavy profile...its not quite as tight a shooter but close

223 wylde*

55 in a 1-9 is as heavy as I'd go..., a 1-7 , can go as high as 90gr. in a bolt gun

That wylde chambering gives you .223 max pressure capability...

@90 gr. You'll be hitting the lands...

Anyone shooting H110, I got some sub loads for 300blk..990-1000fps...10.5" bbl

@juliet.one.alpha (OK) hitting the lands?

I'm missing the ref

Lands and grooves, the wylde chambering can vary on how far the bullet "jumps" from case neck to engage the rifle bore...you'll also hear talk about throat erosion in some calibers...that's the unbridled area just past the chamber...

Ah

That includes others besides wylde chambering...each manufacturer has a secret formula for performance

@mcguyver123 the variance is the cut/shape of the powder...4064/varget are very similar...what scale are you running?

@juliet.one.alpha (OK) a lee scale that came with my press

How did I miss this lmao

Did the scale come with a standard?...100gr. Weight perhaps...

Both of the digital scales I have came with one to calibrate it

Soo just to add to this- if you have a 1/9 twist ratio you can shoot up to the 77grain smk so long as you have a 20in tube, there’s enough velocity to up the muzzle rpm to keep it stable for 600 yrd matches and -even though it doesn’t matter in this case- lower twist rates have less rifle tq and spin drift but really the only benefit is the spin drift but it easy to calculate for. I actually had a m77 tactical that I messed around with for a long time and used it as my first tactical match rifle (it called prs now). My favorite load in commercial brass was 25.5 grain of RG4895 which I do not think you can even get anymore lmao.

I'm looking for powder now.

Varget is unobtainable

H322 is very available locally. But expensive

May have to stick with that tho

https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00130precisionrifle8/shooters-world-precision-rifle-extruded-smokeless-powder-8-lb-by-lovex this is the shit- it the same as Varget but it totally out shoots it in most of my rigs.
