Well just got back from shooting my first round of reloads.... gotta love it.
I shot 5 different Gr's of powder w/same bullet 85 gr Sierra BTHP. And I am very happy with the results. Not to mention that the rifle 243 Savage mod 11 was sited in at 100 yards with 58 gr vmax, I took the barrel and scope off to paint and when I reassembled I moved the scope back about 1.5 inches. When I got to the range today I thought that the windage would be way out of wack... I was wrong... windage was still spot on I only had to adjust the elevation about 2 inches with 42 grs of powder, hitting the bull on the third shot. I am shooting a little over an inch ate 100 yrds with 43 grs of powder, this is what I will be loading. I also want to say thanks to all that have given me advice to help with the reloading process. Time to go make some more.
One other question though is it normal for the primers to stick out a tad?
I seem to be getting different OALs because of them.
Thanks
Steve
