37.3 grains LilGun 260 grain Winchester platinum tip

going to try to get some bench time today got some more ladder loads ready to test. bumping up in .2 grain increments from here. still had a little case sooting at 37.6 looking to seal it up and keep good accuracy. think i may be getting close. these loads are for my rifle start low and work up looking for pressure signs. good luck good shooting. more to come.

Nothing wrong there,!!!

37.7 grains seems to be my magic number going to clean bore real good and try 3to5 more.

Are you chronographing the loads? Curious about velocities with the 260 grain.

have not was only looking for most accurate load. 38 grains and above started opening up.

If I'm not mistaken the BCA upper is a 1/24" twist rate correct? I'm curious how these will perform in my 1/20" twist... I just need to find a new place to try them out. I've got a bunch loaded up with H110 from 37 grains up to 40 grains.

i was starting to show pressure signs at 38.2 had some primer flattening and a light ejector mark. gonna clean and shoot a few more loaded at 37.7 thats looking what mine wants.

Here's a four shot group I shot today at twenty five yards. I couldn't go further because the rest of the range was occupied so I just adjusted things to be six inches high. The load used was new Starline brass, Winchester primers, and 39.5 grains of H110.

shot a buck yesterday with the load i discussed above it absolutely dropped and never moved i will try to find the bullet today but i was very impressed with the results!
