Darn. I forgot about this.


Anyway . . . I worked up a new recipe today. These 130gr "barrier" bullets . . . don't seem to be (actually) available outside mil and leo circles, but I'm betting just about any "standard shape" flat based canelatured bullet is going to load pretty close to the same. In fact I used data for a HDY 130gr SP FB bullet as a starting point. Then worked the COAL and charge until I got what I wanted. Hodgdon's data said they should be running ~3089 FPS.


51.2gr BL-C(2)
130gr "barrier" bullet
Winchester large rifle primers
once fired, match prepped FGMM brass
2.688 C.O.A.L.

Chronographed four rounds:

3093
3093 (duplicate)
3088
3089

I threw the first shot low and right about 1/2 inch, but the next three overlapped each other at 100 yards. Easily under 1 MOA.
