So, I'm looking at loads and I've been searching here and there and I figured I'd go to the developers. I have the 123 NCCs ( in my experience nosler custom comps follow a sierra match king almost to a T) and so far the powders and load ranges that AA shows are all compressed. For instance...
30gr 748
31.5 BLC-2
And that's where they start. They don't go much higher than that though. They stop at 30.5 of 748 and 31.8 of BLC-2. And they are using a CCI 450. Has anyone tried to replicate these? Do you find these to be a little hot? And why did AA just put these out and not start say at 27gr?
I tried Ramshot TAC yesterday and my little girl did NOT like it. At the highest I used 28 gr and I had one that punctured the primer. (I was using CCI 400). The best grouping was 2''. I was really hopping for that powder since I have 17lbs of it.
I know folks are going to say 8208 or Accurate 2520. Or even buy the dang manual. I can find neither powder online and as most of you I like to buy powder in quantity. And I'm just being a cheap ass on the manual. I already have 6 manuals but only one shows the grendel(nosler)! So I know I'll have to pony up and get the manual.
I guess I'm looking for a little advice. The powders I have on hand are....
748, 4895 (H and IMR), BLC-2, Varget(saving for my 308), 4350, Xterminator, 4831, H322, and probably some others I can't think of at the moment. Oh and Ramshot Tac but following Noslers book and testing loads that ended up sucking.
