I've reloaded for my bolt guns in the past (260 rem and 300 WM), but this is the first time working up a load for a gas gun. The gun has a 22" JP barrel, adjustable gas block.
I'm starting with Lapua brass, 8208xbr and 123g Lapua Scenars, working in .3g increments up to a max of 28.4g. The BTO is 1.695, OAL of ~ 2.25.
What, if anything, should I be doing different in evaluating a load for a gas gun? What I am wondering most about is pressure signs. Since the max pressure for the Grendel is so much lower than with one of my bolt guns, what should I be looking for?
