I sure had a pleasant Sunday, hope all else here did as well. This was the quickest load I have ever found. 6 BR-AI started with 30 grains H4895, looking at numbers, bumped it to 30.6, then to 30.8, went to 31 and then bingo, shots 8, 9, jumped into a bughole, went back loaded 2 more, and was pleased as punch with a .099" 4 shot group 8, 9, 10, 11 and I called it for that barrel. Will see how she shoots at distance this Sunday.
The lower center had been shot previously, only 1 cold bore landed on the center lower target, made adjustment and 6 o`clock were 2 touching, another had 2 more touching in the 12 o`clock black, the 30.8 was the 2 snake eyes, and 31 was gorgeous!! The 31 grain load is exactly where it is supposed to be according to a reliable source @ 2922 fps
Barrel info, vintage Brux 8.25 twist, 1.200 straight taper, 25 1/4" length chamered by yours truly using the Norma Dasher reamer held short with 6BR go gauge with .001" crush, 1.075" headspace on my BAT model B. Max length chamber doing so is 1.537" after firing, cases pull back to 1.530"
My complete sincere thanks goes out to Larry Moore of Hillbilly bullets for listening to this old timer and trying a new weight in his long range dies. He is a pearl of a fine gentleman.
