    I processed the 243 brass I shot last weekend for load development and used the data from my wc844 load development to setup for 223 production run. I ran the last 150 Berry's I had. Cleaned them after and boxed them up. Ready to start running the 1000 wolf bullets now.

    Looks like the new Gunwerks brass will work just fine. Was running exactly in my speed window I was hoping for as well.

    That's pretty impressive. Ithought I was doing good on my pistol rounds last weekend with SD of 17

    I noticed something while loading yesterday. When I went from 140gn ELD-M to 130gn RDF they felt easier to seat so I measured them. 140 ELD is .2635 and the 130 RDF is .2630. I have some 140 RDF too so I checked them, .2635.

    17 is good for a pistol I think.
    Well that's good. I was actually surprised at the consistency. It was the first time I ever had any of my loads over a Chrono. I figured there would be more variation. In the top group, if you throw out the high and low shots, then the remaining 6 shots are within 9fps. There's a little more variance on the second load.

    The second pic is a load with 115gr HAPs over titegroup. I was pretty happy with that load as well.

    In all 9mm loads tested the Ruger p85 was only about 50-70fps faster than the taurus 709 even though it has more than an inch of extra barrel.

    Tested my BMG loads with the Lapua brass.

    Decided to use a rear bag this time and had to fight it to get it to settle enough. Threw off the first shot but the recoil seemed to get the stock settled in properly and the next few were much better.

    I lost about 50fps going from the LC brass to Lapua. Group wasn’t terrible though as long as I leave out the first flubbed shot. Going to bump the charge up a few grains and try to reclaim the lost velocity and get back in to the node I had found at around 2675fps.

    Ballistic: Standard Edition by Peak Studios LLChttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ballistic-standard-edition/id300045171?mt=8

    I use it for logging targets and loads.


    I prefer Strelok when it comes to the ballistic calculator side. Not that Ballistic is bad and it has some advantages. But overall it has a great target log feature and Strelok has a friendlier calculator and BC library.

    This weekend I loaded 400 rounds of 357 Magnum, 300 plated, and 100 XTP’s. Followed that up with 70 precision 308’s, and 50 plinking 45-70 rounds. Then loaded 15 rounds of 45-70 with Trail Boss to see what all the fuss is about.
