Finally got my 10FP back, with a 5 R barrel

I have used a lot of PPU over the years, its under rated and over looked by a lot of the shooters out there. Will see how it performs today.

Have you shot it out of your savage yet? It might be privi partisan or something like that that I'm thinking of. The brass was too long at the neck

Just back from the range, I fired 20 rounds of PPU 168 match from the new 5 r, yep, all over the place, I normally shoot it out of my M1A, its around 1 moa in it, strange huh.I shot the Lapua/175 SMK reloads, so far 42.5 seems to be the tightest and most consistent groupings. I jumped from 42.5 to 43 when making the rounds, the next best groupings were in 43.0 grains of Varget, I will now make up 50 rounds of 42.7 and 42.5 for comparison,I will move the OAL out 2thou for each 10 rounds in each load to see how that impacts the groupings. Lot of work in the garage on the bench doing this but to tell the truth, I like reloading almost as much as shooting. The thinks you learn help your shooting greatly.

Probally need to do a break in with you original ammo then do a good clean/ de copper and startvworking up s new load. What I hate about a new rifle or barrel is seeing how in accurate it can be

You may be amazed at how much difference a primer can make. They are definitely one of the less expensive components. Try loading up your most accurate load yet and try a couple of different brands if they are available.
Since stumbling onto a couple of great loads by not having my regular primers available I have added testing loads with different primers to my load development routine.
