Pics: The choice on limited funds is either AR parts or new digital camera. Guess which won?
Range report- and it's a good one! I had the Dillon 550 set up for some bulk 50gr PSP that wasn't shooting well, and I've always had good luck with Ballistic Tips. Looked in the manual, and load range for W748 (already in the hopper) for 55gr bullets is 24-26 grains. Set up for the 50's at 26.5 grains, so I cranked it down a few turns and wound up at 25.1 grains. Close enough, I just wanna go shooting! So I made a bunch of mixed brass, Federal 205 primer, 55gr Ballistic Tip loads and headed for the range. Groups were consitently sub-1" off a Sinclair rest, on a calm day, at 100 yards. Hell, I've got bolt guns that don't shoot that well! So I rushed home and loaded up the rest of the Noslers and all the W748.... guess I'm set for coyote season!
Flame away if you wanna- I can hardly believe it either. I'm used to load development taking a while, weighing each load, seperating brass, hand-seating primers etc for my 6mm Remington long-range rig, and to have a semi shoot this well on the first try still floors me.
