30-06 168gr TSX Loads w/ Pics - 11/22/10
Want to share my results with my 30-06 Marlin XL7
22" barrel using 168gr TSX with Reloader 17.
Here is my resent ocw test using my 30-06 marlin xl7 rifle using 168gr and reloader 17: I did not run into any pressure signs, I may go higher in charge.
Did some more testing with the 168gr TSX. Ended up using different primers, changed to CCI-BR2 no change to POI. However it was a hotter primer and raise the speed up. I played with bullet seating and I'm pretty happy with the results. Of coarse I want to retest the load and test them at farther distance. My plan is 500 yards max with this combo.
Reloader 17 @ 57.5grs.
