K22, how much '26 are you loading for the 95s? Are you loading any 105s?




Smokepole: I am not loading any 105's even though I'm running an 8T barrel. 100's are the heaviest and I'm doing 47.3 gr. of RL26 with thoses. In the 95's I run 48.0gr. which is a pretty full case. I can fingernail tap it down to the bottom of the neck. Guess I would be better off with a drop tube, but I don't generally use one.


K22, if you're still reading this, 48 grains must be smoking! I shot some today and got my best accuracy with 46, and that was at 3200.

I started at 45.5 and never had what I would consider a bad group. First time that has ever happened to me. The rifle I'm using is a Kimber 84M that has a Lilja 8T 22" barrel. I'm hoping to get mine chronographed soon, but I didn't figure they were at 3200.
The 48gr. load is behind a 95gr. Partition. With the 100gr. load I run 47.3gr. No pressure signs whatsoever.
What is the setup you are using?

I should add that I am using Nosler brass with Rem. 9 1/2 primers.


The rifle is a re-barreled M70 push feed, Pacnor 9-twist @23". In an Edge stock.

Lapua brass, Fed 210 primer.
