As I've been starting to play around with this load for hunting season I've come across a few issues. 1) this bullet is freaking longggggg! 2) I'm starting to crunch powder wayyy to early for already shooting on the lands at 2.986.
When i worked up a ladder test for it the other day I started crunch varget at 43.5g which is no where near max load, since I've been shooting my 175 smk at around 45g. But I increasing went up but by only .3 gains, as I crunched powder all the way for 45g checking for pressure all the way there without a sign no dents on the case not hard to lift the bolt, I'm just a little stumped? Is this load for my rifle just gonna be a compressed load?
Has anyone else loaded the 175 LRX have the same issue and if so what have you done?
