Have tried Varget briefly but didn't get very far. Might try again to see if it works better but have been busy loading for match season. I'll tinker with 224v later this month or next. I think over hit my load though with h4350, low SD, good velocity and precise enough for my purposes (.5-.8").
Yes I'm running a 26". H4350 will likely be too slow; precise and low SD but a bit slow. Varget and other slightly faster powders would almost certainly do better for efficiency in terms of complete powder burn.
Cool! Then yes, waiting for the MDTs might be best option.
The .001 neck tension has consistently better groups and I'd say the 1.775 and 1.765 seating depths are pretty close (same elevation and general shape) to each other in terms of size and shape. I'd go with 1.775 and it will give you .010" of throat erosion before needing to start bumping out length. Average SD for those groups isn't bad but it's a small sample, so I'd load 40-50 and try them out at distance to see how they perform.
25g of h4895 was a good node.....started to compress the charge at more than that and I’m just not sure on how much one can compress a charge or if it’s a good thing or not....was told to try and not compress charges but that maybe bad information.
Ok.....will get some loaded and go from there and try some distance shooting. 1.775 is right at the lands. Would like to get more velocity out of it also, feels like I’m chasing my tail lol.
Ya I found my charge weight in the FPS I want but I’m piddling with seating depth and primers to get it refined more but I think the cci450’s are where it is.....tried br-4’s and wasn’t impressed and cci41’s was like the cci450’s but more velocity with the 41’s.
I found seating depth tests to be a bit fickle also. The best depths weren't super obvious (either a flyer turning great group mediocre or a decent group but not stellar).
Ah ya I’m new to reloading and this has been an interesting trip lol.....most everyone says the 80’s are a .035” plus seating depth away from the lands is where it is.....I’ll test at the lands and .035”+.
I've done it a few different ways but the one that seems to work the best requires 5-10 sacrificial bullets, 300grit sandpaper, valve grinding compound, steelwool and JB Bore paste or Flitz and a drill with low/no wobble or run-out in head.
Not real sure.....I think they just went off what quickload had predicted......sounded like they was at 25.3grains with it.....please don’t hurt yourself with it(I’m sure you won’t) but that’s kind of what I had found....they never specified if they was blowing primers or why they had this conclusion on 8208.
