1st reintroduce to the gun. It's a 1965 Savage 110LH 30-06 w/a 1-8.5 twist (yes I know it didn't happen but I've measured several times an that's what it is) , the bore is 300 x309.
2nd the boolit it is mine, 200 gr full spire point w/.8 in of grip length and. 41 in of ogive nose. 09 flatpoint . Sized. 301 .2 wraps of "green bar" printer paper and finish sized to. 310. They are cast of 50/50 1-20 and WW and water dropped.
3rd my cases are weigh matched Remington cases fire formed and half neck sized then belled . My sizing ball gives me a neck ID of 307 which leaves a measurable shoulder on the neck these cases and loads are being worked up for the hunt not target work as such I will be in absolute bliss w/2" 100 yd groups.
4th patches are lubed by hand w/a Darr like lube of 14oz of vaseline, 18 oz of parifin, 3tblsp STP oil additive. The old school V-8 stuff. I need that much slickum to get them through the Lee sizer.
The groups are coming together well w/IMR4350 and CCI standard lg rifle primers w/a finished load that I expect to be between 45.3 and 45.7 gr w/o any filler.
The weather/water proofing test was an accident. My intent was to shoot cold ammo, the hunt is mid October north of Elk Nv if its warm I expect 40 or so for a high. As my luck goes of late I was delayed my ice melted and the ziplock leaked viola' drowned ammo. So it dried out in the cab for 3 days running from 60-160 degrees. Tonight 1 load turned in a group 6 in wide 4 in tall w/2 touching 2 an inch apart 3in lt and a rogue off another 3" and 3" low. Last time I was here w/jaxeted it was w/in a half gr of dialed in.
The patches are coming off and landing w/in 5ft of the muzzle cut mostly in long strips. No rings and if Lyman book data is of any value here and w/past chrony data I should be in the 22-2300 fps range .
