Graduate
Finally got to touch off my new loads in the 10.5" and didnt blow the gun up.
Both loads are over max so don't try this at home.
Barnes 50gr TSX
CCI 400 SR primer
22.4gr IMR4198
2.18 OAL
Lightly crimped
All I had was some plastic bottles with water but they were explosive, it was slightly overcast but still daylight but didnt have a lot of blast or flash, they felt hot compared to LC XM193
Couldnt find the bullet went though the bottles with a dime sized exit and grazed the 2x4 behind it.
Brass looked fine but the primers were just slightly flattened but I'm comfortable with it.
Next was the 77gr SMK OTM
CCI Mag SR Primer #450
25grs CFE223
2.26 OAL
Light crimp
Just shot these at cans and chased them down to the 50 yard line. I cant say what they would do on impact but they felt authoritative and you could definitely feel the difference in recoil. Brass and primers looked fine and flash and blast wasn't bad either, I really like these and the bullets were half the price of the TSXs. Ill probably load a lot more of these but I really want to run these on a chrono and see where they are at velocity wise.
