What did you do in the reloading room today?

I broke the mount for my vise while trying to remove the barrel from my 6 BRA. Vise is down for a few days until I make a new mount. Yay.
Dabbled with a 130 grain load for a 6.8 SPC bolt gun(factory Rem 700) consisting of
Hornady cases,
Ancient 130 grain Hornady spire point bullets,
H-335 powder and
CCI 41 primers using Speer data.
Only had a handful of bullets so I didn't do much development.
Started at 28.0 grains and worked up in 1/2 grain increments to 29.5 grains without any pressure signs.
Decided on 29.0 grains with a COAL of 2.360", best group.
That's as long as the mag would allow without drag.
Didn't crono either due to limited number of projos but guesstimated velocity to be in the 2400-2425 fps range.
Shoots nearly the same poi as 110 V-MAX at 100yds, same horizontally and 3/8" lower.
Only did 3 shot groups, again due to limited number of projos, all were under an inch with the 29.0 gr load one ragged hole.
Had enough bullets left to load 6 rounds for terminal ballistics testing on live game.
