I get to fire form brass this weekend then start load development on it next.
I wish I would have read Dan's post before I finished loading the entire test. Oh well. I did seat an additional .009 deeper than before. It puts me at a cbto length of 2.200. I like round numbers. Before seating more shallow I want to see how the pressure feels as the bolt seemed a bit sticky in the charge range of 42.7. I am re testing 42.5 and 42.7 again as well as 42.8. On the 42.8, I want to re asses weather the bolt gets noticeably more sticky at the new seating depth and that it spreads back out at that charge so I know indeed where my upper limit is. May be an incredible waste of time but hey its already loaded.
