I just hope it doesn't hurt me with recoil ... I'll find out.
Just in case I'm having an old 6bra barrel from 2yrs ago cut back.
Gotta make 13.5 weight
I'd like to see that recoil pad. I know my rifle is gonna have an aluminum butt plate.
I may have to design or buy a shoulder pad. I don't want I see sold. I want a clip on my shirt type that hands like a big name badge.
That may be my choice. I have to think weight alsoI couldn't make weight with a rubber recoil pad, so I took a small towel and folded it vertically..lay it over my shoulder..Ta Da..thinner than a recoil pad and manageable recoil on my collar bone (mine protrudes).
That may be my choice. I have to think weight also
Is there any room here for 30x47. I recently bought a dasher w/ a spare barrel in 30 x 47. I put it on and sighted in scope. 1st 3 shot group @ 100 measured .19. 44gr. 8208 w/ 125 sierra green tips.
Recoil therapy!!!!
I run the 7MM BR and I find the same issues as you.....and I just love my 7MM BR so I can see why you love your 30BR..... I am doing load development that has hunting quality and accuracy quality as well soo so far H-4895 has been the ticket with H-4198 running all my light loads(100gr) please dont delete your threads as I find 30BR info just as helpfull as 7mm BR info....Thanks for chiming I’m on my thread. The 30BR threads don’t get much play with this site mostly drawing the long range crowd. Considered deleting this thread because it’s almost like talking to myself.
I had a problem with my 7mm BR that you touched on the bullet backed out of the case... I was doing load development with H-4895 and I settled on 33gr in true 7mm BR cases ..... when filled with H-4895 the powder came all the way up the neck to about an 1/8 inch to the top. so I tapped them down and gained another 1/16th.. so I installed my 145gr speer spbt to a COAL of 2.333 .. all was good till I went hunting.I put the first round in and cycled it in and out with no issue.. so I racked the second round,,this time the bullet had jammed against the lands spilling powder everywhere... so I measured the remaining rounds and three of the 18 had migrated out to 2.4...so if I reduce 1/2 gr will it help alleviate migration you think? these are for hunting and at current load spec I am at 2600 fps so 1/2 gr wont kill me if it will help bullet movementTo expound on what Randy said...In my case I ran 37.2 grains of H322 that produced the groups in the first photo. I loaded them up and used a Forster funnel with drop tube and the cases were filled to within less than 1/8" of the case mouth. I actually vibrated my loading block with an ultrasonic tooth brush after the cases were filled to get the powder to settle some. It helped, but just a bit. These were some pretty compressed charges. The powder resistance when seating forced me to remove .003" of shims from my seating die to achieve my desired CBTO. I was nervous the bullets would back out of the case, but they didn't.
I hesitate to list powder charges because every gun is different. None of the loads listed here caused any pressure signs in my gun, so I'm comfortable with what I'm doing. Anyone reading this should work up their own loads accordingly.
I shoot 30AR cartridge-17 twist= awesome.I'm having a 30cal built.
I've been waiting and watching for new 30br threads. I've read all I could find so far.
Seems it's either not much interest or "just plug and play" makes nothing to talk about.
Cool you're exploring !
