I also thought this chrono would help me find GOOD loads faster and with less waste of powder and bullets! Something else I was wrong about! lol I'll have to go up and down the ladder again and see what the numbers tell me. I'm still hoping for an SD of less than 10 and an ES of less then 20! We'll see if I can find the sweet spot before hell freezes over!

Thanks for the time and knowledge sharing! Sure appreciate it!!

Lol bud you are barking up the wrong powder tree for that. LT32 was specifically designed for 65-70 grain bullets in the 6PPC. You are probably going to hit pressure before you get anywhere close to that with LT32. BTDT. This is the best I ever got out of that powder. 2 tenths over max, .4 over and things got real sporty. Shot with a Cooper 21 223, Oehler 35P for a chronograph.

OH thanks!!! You think a Nosler 64 bonded solid base would be a better choice for the powder? I knew it was designed for the 6PPC but didn't realize it was heavier bullets! Thanks!

Proper prior practice prevents piss poor performance!
