Hammer Reloading

[Stikbrandon]

Well, I found pressure, 41.2 grains of Hodgon BL-C2
With a coal of 2.540 I think the jump may be a bit much. The pressure load did show some real good Potential but after some research and seeing that BL-C2 isn't temp stable, I don’t want to look In to it too much.

Just got a pound of Varget , stand by…. No kids and a wife that hates me, gonna have a awesome weekend.

I’m sure you’ve looked at the burn rate chart. Posting in case you haven’t.

I forgot about 15.5. Heard it’a a cool powder

Oh, one thing that is interesting… as a bullet is seated further out of the case the internal capacity increases, inherently reducing pressure slightly.

....and WAY over my head. I watched the youtube videos though. keep it up guys.

You could spend all day with every box on the shelf it still wont stack them like this. And it makes shots easier when they go exactly where you aim.

That’s why we do it.

Just loaded another ladder same powder charge of 42.7 gr of Hodgon Varget and just messed with the seating depth. From the low In of 2.540 to 2.620 in 20k increments

 

[Ofdscooby]

Where is that in relation to the lands. With those short bullets can you get working .030 of the lands

 

[KoozeDeer]

Those short bullets won’t get anywhere close to the lands. With .050 neck engagement, they were @0.120 off
