What’s the load and rifle?Being the worst kind of procrastinator I woke up at 5am to load 100 rounds for a local match at 9am. Then I shot the match and got 4th with my rinky dink .223 and 77 Noslers.
You’re in Cali aren’t you? How bad could the weather be? ?Got some Reloder 26 under some 147 ELDm's (45.7gr) and 130 RDF'S (46.2gr) for my Tikka Tac A1 to chew on once the weather cooperates

Rainnnnn for the first time in a while LOL.You’re in Cali aren’t you? How bad could the weather be? ?
Well, I’ll cut you some slack then ?, because shooting in the rain sucks. CA is always short on rain, so maybe it’s a good thing (silver lining).Rainnnnn for the first time in a while LOL.
In the process of making my new loading room. New house had a ton more room so the old bench was tossed. View attachment 7104359
Then had to tidy up for dinner with the family? ? Always seems like when you have a big batch, you never can go all the way through it.Run 1000 pieces of 9mm brass through the expander die. Looked up load data for Speer 124gr TMJs with Titegroup.

So far I have to agree.That ADG brass is excellent stuff.
Have you heard, Winchester is now putting out a match grade primer?The Battle of the Match Primers is being set. My pet load of 42.8gr of Reloder 16 in Prime Brass with 130 Golden Target bullets with CCI BR-2 vs Federal GM210M. I usually used 210M, but got some BR-2's for free from a buddy who wasn't using them. Win/win.

I think I'm in the same boat. Not pleased with recent accuracy and think it's time for me too. Been looking at various options and may be considering a Prood CF.Nice. I'll be rebarreling mine once I get home from this 9 month Germany rotation to 7mm-08. I had shot out my 6 creed barrel right before I came over here last April.

If you are loading those with a Hornady die set, you might look into getting the correct insert for your seater. I note that you have the same dents in the tip of the bullet I got when I load high BC bullets with them.Got some Reloder 26 under some 147 ELDm's (45.7gr) and 130 RDF'S (46.2gr) for my Tikka Tac A1 to chew on once the weather cooperates

I use Lee dies. Thanks though.If you are loading those with a Hornady die set, you might look into getting the correct insert for your seater. I note that you have the same dents in the tip of the bullet I got when I load high BC bullets with them.
I know I'm well north of 1600. I like the round and will stick with it for awhile.I had about 1350rds on mine. I was shooting 108gr eld-m. I was pushing them though.
Accuracy went from just under 1/2 MOA to over MOA. Was chasing the lands the last 350rds. I went with Patriot Valley Arms for this new barrel. Got the heavy varmint contour at 26" 1/9 twist. I'm over the barrel burners. I figure I can be shooting the 162-168gr bullets out to a thousand without any true issues.
Where'd you get the plans for it?Thank you.
It was a DIY annealer project from another forum, Works well and only cost me about 100 bucks
