I'm fine with 2600 with an 80 grain bullet. I was expecting 2600-2700 in the 80-85 grain bullets so 2608 is fine.

Wish I could find some H335. It has been absent up here for a very long time. That or it's been snapped up before I got there. Same with Varget.

I have 200 rounds of brand new Sako 222 brass that I am going to work with after the first of the year starting with taking micrometer readings on the case heads and keeping all the cases labeled so I can keep close track of head expansion. I'm going to try to talk my lovely wife into a Mitutoyo digital blade micrometer for Christmas. Probably just get socks though. frown


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
