my redding dies arrived today so i loaded 30 new lapua cases with some 60gn sierra hp with a starting load of 31gns varget.i couldnt go to my range because the weather here in the uk is terrible,my sympathys to those of you in the u.s.a that are having a lot worse than us.
i have a bullet trap that is in my back yard[well its a pit i dug and filled with sand that has a 4" pipe sticking out that takes the gun muzzle the neighbours dont hear a thing]i shot 3 rounds cleaning between each.fired necks are .267 which i think from previous posts is correct.there was a bit of carbon/residue on the cases half way down only very light-is this normal on first firing?.
im hoping to get out sunday to get the scope on paper at least while breaking in the bbl.
