Using Hornady COAL gauge, I'm getting exactly 3", measured 3x.
Load data from Hammer shows COAL of 2.88" for this load, so a jump of 0.12" ?
Does that sound right, or should I shorten to 2.8"?
I'm planning on using Win748 (CFE223 if I can't get what I want out of Win748), hoping for good groups at 2650 to 2750.
This is a load for my son's rifle. In higher elevations - Limpopo at ~4000 feet and the black bear country we like to hunt in Idaho around 4500-5000, even 2650 fps will deliver a lot of thump out to around 400 yards.
