Satterlee test

[ClintC]

I think that Carolina load is 44.3?

That’s just what one person got. @conditionzero and I both use 140 Berger bullets and 6.5 staball. We both shoot different amounts of powder in are loads. Just trust the process.

6GT and 6.5 CM SRP brass load work up. 6.5 CM I know the jump. So I’m just redoing powder charges

Man those 6GT cases are sexy!

They can be loaded loooong. Mag has plenty of room. I loaded to C O L 2.500. Get a base line load then start setting them out if needed. Heading to the range tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging but I’m glad I never have to unpack my Caldwell again. You need one of these Garmins. We just passed Christmas. When’s your birthday? Early Father’s Day?
I really think I had my Caldwell kinks all figured out but I’m pretty sure life’s gonna get much better from here on out.

My old Oehler was such a pain to set up. I ordered a labradar before the Garmin was available. Steep learning curve on getting sorted out, but so much better than setting up the Oehler.

My bench sits on top of a mound, the ground in front is about 4 feet lower than the concrete pad, then another 3 to the bench itself. I had to raise the contraption about 7 feet to get to the barrel. I only set it up when I had a whole day to work on things and had a number of different rifles and loads to try. It made it exhausting.

Now, I go out, test a string or two, pack it up and move on to something else. So much easier.

I done another test with H4350 140 grain SST’s using the magneto speed V3 it’s so awesome to have a chronograph that works!

And yes it is a muddy mess but I don’t give a shit I was smiling the whole time lol

 

[rockchalk06]

You have some promising numbers there! Glad you enjoy it and it worked. Good equipment that works like it should, is the difference between a good range day and 3 finger 3 glass of Bourbon day

[Kwaynem]

[Kwaynem]

Just got done and the rain hit

 

[ClintC]

Looks good. How did it group?

 

[Kwaynem]

Loos good. How did it group?

I didn’t shoot at paper figured it was a lost cause with the wind blowing like it was I came home and loaded 5 more to shoot at paper tomorrow if the rain holds off and the wind

 

[conditionzero]

Heck yeah man I love seeing progress like this!

 

[ClintC]

6.5 CM SRP load teat. Now I need to work on neck tension. The big group was a 10 shot grout that was shot as fast as I could hand feed.

 

[rockchalk06]

Very nice man.

 

[ClintC]

Very nice man.

Thanks. I got to the range at 1230 and left at 4. You could have came but did not if you where working.
