so last wednesday I took my Musgrave 7.62x51 to our 25 yard range with 8 reduced loads making sure two of our clubs reloading gurus would be on hand to watch and inspect the cases
everything went well just wish I had loaded more
Even though we have two good gun shops locally I ended up buying alliant blue dot, not my first choice
but 9 grains with a 120 grain bullet or is that boolit with a cci large rifle primer
Target Rifle sights set at 300yards left a fairly tight group about an inch below the 10 ring
well pleased
First reduced load

Re: First reduced load
Well done.
What were they inspecting the cases for?
Was it a cast boolit? If so what design?

Re: First reduced load
Thanks dromia

Re: First reduced load
Interested in how the case was used to show pressure signs.
This might be helpful to you in the future when looking for "pressure signs". http://www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8480
Were the loads chronographed?

Re: First reduced load
Might not have been for pressure signs
I was looking at the cases as they were much cleaner than when I shoot with a full load outdoors
however I noticed some colouring simaler to annealing
Interesting link thanks
no chrono thats the next step
