Hey all, noob almost ready to load my first ever round (a bit excited)... wanted to ask on here before I do.
Rifle- TC Compass 308 22" 5R barrel 1 in 12 twist
Brass- LC (FL Resized)
Headspace: 1.624 +/- 0.001
Case length: 2.010
Primer- WLR
Bullet- Sierra 165 Gameking HPBT
Powder- IMR 4166
Dummy Round-
Ogive: 2.269
OAL: 2.757
PLEASE, double check my work so far. Does this all look good?
Now the big question... working up my load... anyone by chance able to run me through quick load? Where should I start/ stop/ and what increments would you load?
I ran it through Hornady site, but it gives for 165 Hor SP out of a 24" barrel, WIN brass, FED 210M primer, COL of 2.750, start 40.2 grains and max 44.9 compressed.
Im going to be taking this slow and of course, watching for pressure signs... but any input is really appreciated!
How would you load your workups with this mix? I have 40 pieces of brass, thinking 3 or 5 groups and leaning towards 5 for room for error and slight inconsistencies.
