New 30 Major

Started load development of my new 30 Major today. Bat DS action, Tracker stock, Lilja barrel. Unbelievable groups and low ES on first day of testing. Thanks to Zack at Old Dominion Custom Rifles for building an awesome rifle and Mike Ezell for his help too with his fine cartridge. 00D72FFA-44ED-4510-BA44-9787E55F3270.jpeg36BA9D2E-9727-4C3B-9AE6-1C85CDEA0DA9.jpegPic is 1st day of load development with new brass. 3 shot group ES of 3 FPS
 
Well, I was gonna say, if you need any help tuning it up with powders and/or the tuner, to just ask..Happy to help, but looks like you've got it figured out very well.
If you have anything to add about tuning it up, post it up. Did it tune up almost immediately to shoot like that? Have to move the tuner and/or change loads?

Frankly, that cartridge is as easy or maybe more so, than even a 30BR. Both are about as easy as can be but to get anything dotting up like that usually takes a little playing with. Did you run it through my tuner test? Post more info if you will.

Never touched the tuner. This was my first day of powder testing. All 3 shot groups at 100 yds. It was about 40 degrees during testing. Just went by your recommendations and so far the lowest Consistent ES of any cartridge I’ve ever worked up for. Very anxious to do more testing and to run your tuner test. Thanks
