Gotta get to the range to shoot some loads for my 6x45 shooting 70gr NBTs powered by AA2015, Benchmark, & IMR 4198; going to see if the data generated buy QuickLOAD will work as expected.

This will be the first time I have done load development in the winter, I hope to find a good Coyote load using this bullet.

Buckshot.pdfBuckshot.pdfI ran the numbers with your average case capacity. As you can see it shows you are right on the targeted node 0.9237. I think any further improvement would have to come by case prep and seating depth.

A better test would be to use a problem rifle, one that doesn't group well and see in OBT improves the grouping. This is what I did with my 7mm-08 and my son's 30.06 and both turned sub moa results.

kewl, thxs Ice...I wanted to see that sw work...I got that load from the ladder method so it proves to me that it works...

I think the real advantage would be in combining it with with a modified ladder for initial load development.

Ok ran both 6x45's at the range today. Learned something new about BHW barrels...If you clean em, and I mean clean em...they hate it. I had to run about 20 rds down each gun to get enough fouling in the barrel for it to shoot good. Really weird stuff...Here's a pick of each gun, with it's corresponding group of the day, and the amount of patterns these things shot until they started grouping...


Both groups are from my 8208 load...

16" carbine

group of the day from the carbine:

Rifle

Rifle group



The flyers are all my fault...I was under a time crunch. I really think these barrels can shoot. I really want to rebuild that carbine and make it tacticool.

Nice rifles...My brother in-law way telling me yesterday, he is seeing coyotes out at his place in the mid afternoon. He thinks they are coming in for water. I would like to get out there and see if I can't ambush one.

Found some 70gr sierra blitzkings in a garage sale, ended up getting 1k of em and they're moly'd. So, gonna have to run some numbers in quickload to see what it I should start with for true "load accuracy". I loaded up about 20 of em to see how they fit vs's the vmax and I had to seat them deeper than the vmax to get them to fit into the mag. Just need the rain to go away so I can hit the range for testing...
