New Creedmoor load test
So I have been thinking about ways to tighten up my Creedmoor loads a little bit. Decided to try a new bullet and start load development again. Might have found my new load for this Savage Tactical rifle.
New Hornady brass
CCI 200
140 grain Sierra Matchking, loaded to 2.810" (At the lands) not jammed into just at the lands.
41 grains of H-4350
Brass trimmed to 1.908"
Average Velocity 2769FP
Extreme Spread 15 FPS
Standard Deviation 6 FPS
.397 MOA 10 shot group. Measured outside distance and subtracted bullet diameter then divided by 1.047 to obtain the MOA value.
No primer ctareing or flattening at all, although there is the slightest ejector mark on the case head. Almost can't even see it unless you angle it just right. Over all very happy with this load.
