Well I started pressure tests for some new loads. Here's specs:
Savage 12/10 with a factory 1-10" heavy barrel shortened to 16.5"
178gr Hornady HPBT Bullets
PP2000MR Powder
CCI 200 LR primers
Hornady 308win match brass
I started high but got good results! Theses are just 4 shot averages not single shot velocities.
48grs: 2720 no pressure signs
48.4grs: 2742 slight pressure signs
48.8grs: 2779 mild pressure signs
49.2grs: 2802 obvious pressure signs
Hopefully this weekend i'll get to do some accuracy testing. I'll be loading from 47.2grs to 48.6grs in .2gr increments 5 shots per load. I'll let y'all know the results
