Anyone have a load with aa2230 for a 75-100 grain bullet thanks

| I'm trying out some W760 with some sierra 100 grain spitzer boattails in my 243 and, so far, it's still just a work in progress. Of the rounds that I've shot so far, I haven't seen much that has tickled my fancy to much. I started at 36.5 grains and the max load I made is using 40.5 grains of W760. So far, I've shot my 36.5, 37.0, 37.5, 38.0, 38.5 and 39.0 loads and, of those, I prefer the 37.0 and 37.5 loads the most. Even so, I still think I can do better than what I've done so far. BTW, I'm using a Model 700 SPS with a 20" barrel in all of my test. |

Here's an update on my W760/100 grain sierra spbt handloads......
I shot a few more rounds today out of my Model 700 SPS. I put several 38.0, 38.5, 39.0, 39.5, 40.0 and 40.5 grain loads down range today and, of those, I preferred the 39.5, 40.0 and 40.5 loads the most. I'm out of 100 grain bullets right now so I cannot do any further reloading tonight or any more testing tomorrow but I think the sweet spot in my rifle will (probably) be somewhere around the 40.3 grain ballpark (+ or - a half a grain or so). Overall, I had decent groups at 37.0 and 37.5 grains as well but I still think my rifle will end up preferring the higher pressure 39.5+ grain loads. My absolute worst loads were at 38.5 and 39.0 grains. I don't why but, for some reason or another, I had some absolutely pathetic groups at those two charge weights. |
