So I rotate through my rifles for the cmp matches and also over the past few years have been switching to cast loads for just about everything I shoot at CMP Games matches.
They are all shot at 200 yards or less so no need for long range.
Next up is a crusty nothing matching RC K98. When I first purchased this rifle hitting the back stop was about as good as it got. I then started loading for it and then was giving a 8mm lee mold 324-175. I was using trailboss for starters as I like the light loads it produces and its fun at 50 yards shooting cans and such. It was showing some promise until the powder shortage hit.
The mold drops to a touch over .325" and the sizer I got with the mold is a .325" and pretty much just seats the gas check.
so im going to start with 2400 and H4895 as that's what I have on hand.
its not the best looking bore but once I cleaned it up and played with the action screw tightness shes improved greatly. Las time out at a cmp match I shot the Yugo M75 sniper ammo. shot a 399/500 that was before I got my shooting Rx and before the powder shortage. should be fun
