@juliet.one.alpha (OK) a lee scale that came with my press

2020-03-27 03:06:48 UTC  

How did I miss this lmao

2020-03-27 03:22:50 UTC  

Did the scale come with a standard?...100gr. Weight perhaps...

2020-03-27 03:23:34 UTC  

Both of the digital scales I have came with one to calibrate it

2020-03-27 03:29:52 UTC  

Soo just to add to this- if you have a 1/9 twist ratio you can shoot up to the 77grain smk so long as you have a 20in tube, there’s enough velocity to up the muzzle rpm to keep it stable for 600 yrd matches and -even though it doesn’t matter in this case- lower twist rates have less rifle tq and spin drift but really the only benefit is the spin drift but it easy to calculate for. I actually had a m77 tactical that I messed around with for a long time and used it as my first tactical match rifle (it called prs now). My favorite load in commercial brass was 25.5 grain of RG4895 which I do not think you can even get anymore lmao.

I'm looking for powder now.

2020-03-27 03:33:08 UTC  

Varget is unobtainable

2020-03-27 03:33:30 UTC  

H322 is very available locally. But expensive

2020-03-27 03:33:39 UTC  

May have to stick with that tho

2020-03-27 03:34:29 UTC  

Same burn rate*

2020-03-27 03:36:04 UTC  

8208 is another good option but for some reason it seems to only work in 308 for me.

2020-03-27 03:38:22 UTC  

@booglooman92 {OH} hows shipping from these guys? Any extra charges like hazmat?

2020-03-27 03:39:30 UTC  

I'm only offering info based on 16" barrels that I've obtained through experience shooting/testing...DMR/ FT-R categories can get complicated(interesting), and with unobtanium becoming the new norm, 55/62/68 seem to be the easiest projos to get,

2020-03-27 03:39:31 UTC  

It’s 15 bucks for hazmat- if you add an item with free shipping you pay nothing else for shipping.

2020-03-27 03:40:13 UTC  

I'll check that out..is it IMR/Hogdon?

2020-03-27 03:41:30 UTC  

I use Vitavourhi in my swedish mauser...closest I could find to Bofors powder orinally used...works good

2020-03-27 03:42:46 UTC  

Oh the RG4895 was a British powder- it was supposed to be another 4895 clone but was way slower like almost 4350 But a cunt hair faster. Slower then Varget too- it’s an odd ball but works very well.

2020-03-27 03:46:51 UTC  

I would bankrupt my self shooting any of the vitavourhi powders lmao- when I messed around with 6.5x55 sweds with the diopters I tended to use h4350 since it went nicely with some my m1’s and 30-06 AI gun.

2020-03-27 04:06:54 UTC  

AI...😪 sadly...cannot afford one...

2020-03-27 04:07:25 UTC  

Those diopter sights are hens teeth...

2020-03-27 04:08:17 UTC  

I saw a set once at a gun show for about $750

2020-03-27 04:13:37 UTC  

That they are now, in the late 90’s they they were cheap- my dad bought me a Swedish and it just happen to have those installed on it, it was my start in learning load development. It surprising how hard you can really drive those 6.5x55 m96 in lapua brass. I regret selling it but I need money for glass at the time and 1350 was hard to say no too.

2020-03-28 19:30:10 UTC  

Im going to take apart a 7.62x39 and pack it with as much powder as fits, ramming it down until it fits to make bullet go faster. Am i doing it right?

2020-03-28 19:30:37 UTC  

Replace the primer with c4

2020-03-28 19:31:13 UTC  

@Doc preemptive F

2020-03-28 19:33:47 UTC  

Oh and my trunion is cast so it'll be able to handle the detonation guys, don't worry
