Loaded up some test loads in .3gr increments from 33.7gr to 34.9gr with Imr8208xbr powder in lapua brass (neck sized with .268 bushing, primer pocket uniformed, trimmed to length etc) with CCIBR4 primers & 70gr Nosler ballistic tips seated to just touch the rifling. At the range all the loads shot very average (around 1 moa @ 100yds) and reached sticky bolt lift & ejector marks on the cases at 34.9gr for an average of 3,470fps from my 1-8" 24" barrel. Interestingly all the groups were nice & triangular apart from what I'd call the max safe load at 34.6gr -this group was horizontally strung with no vertical. I'm guessing this would be the load to investigate further with different seating depths to see if accuracy improves. Do the noslers liked to be jumped or jammed or am I just wasting my time with these projectiles and should be trying something else?
