So I recently started shooting longer ranges and getting into more precision reloading. After checking loads with the chronograph I wanted to do better. I upgraded or added the following to my reloading setup

- K&M Neck turning kit
- K&M primer pocket uniforming tool
- K&M Flash hole uniforming tool
- Upgraded dies to Redding "S" bushing dies set at .002 neck tencion
- Upgraded press to a Forster Co-Ax
- Upgraded powder throwing to an Autotrickler V3
- Magnetospeed V3 chronograph

I started with new ADG brass on this work up. I am very happy with the numbers compared to my old setup. I am going to work the node and it looks like there may be another one at the top of my chart. I had no pressure signs yet either.

- ADG 300MW brass
- Berger 215 Hybrid bullets
- H1000 powder
- Federal GM primers

Good stuff (75.0 & 75.3). You also look to be approaching some common ground @ 77.1 grains. It's trending in the right direction if you aren't seeing pressure.

Well sir you were spot on. 77.1 is on point for me. Still very happy with all the single digit SD's. All the new gear is really paying off

You worked at it and made a great investment with your gear...it shows. Time on the reloading bench and the shooting bench pay off too. Nice job Jeff. You have a an amazing load! And thank for sharing the journey.
