Load progression for the new Savage 10fcp le. All seated "jammed" into the lands via O-give using Varget and CCI LR primers with 175gr SMK's.

SEXY....What i you recipe?

Again, this is a load progression. This is tuning a load to my gun by running various loads through it to see where the "sweet spot" is. This is proper loading for a rifle.

Well...They sure look "Purty"..!!!

I know of a lot of people who reload that would say that a nice shiny round is not needed or does it help ANY..!!
They are WRONG...It helps me in that I am proud to make them work well in MY gun and they look better than factory rounds.!!

I like to take my time, which I have plenty of these dayZ. I'm in no race to make ammo, I would rather not have my gun ruined or my fingers either.

Keep up the good work.

Ps...I use the same labels sometimes, blue painters tape. Comes off easily and stays when you want it to.
But it's not all that cheap. I think Harbor Freight has some cheap stuff that comes in colors too. I'll look for it next trip.

Out of curiosity, what does shooting one round for each powder weight tell you? Would you not want to to be shooting groups of each weight - to give you a better statistical picture of performance?

I am about to purchase a single stage press to start loading .308 myself, so it is an honest question for learning purposes, not "questioning" your methods.

Thanks!

It tells you what load ranges "agree" with the harmonics of the barrel. Then you further refine the loads and make groupings to determine which of those loads is most precise.

There are some great threads over at snipers hide reloading forum regarding loading for a bolt action precision shooter.

Thank you for the response, I will head over to the Hide and check those out.

Well after a sight in with the new nightforce BR 12-42x56, they all grouped in a 3" group :-\

I don't know what happened.
