Figure I would start sharing some of my data here since I have gathered so much data from this forum over the last few years. Well made it out to the range today to test some 130gr RDF seconds and fire form some new starline brass using some various loads. Would have been a nice day but the wind was brutal 47 degrees with a 15-20 mph wind from 10 o'clock. All new starline brass loads grouped 1"-1.5" which seems to be the norm for me and the 123gr nosler custom comp. I must admit I was a little rusty and was having a hard time getting settled in as well. I loaded the 130gr RDF with a couple loads that have worked will with other 129/130gr loads and played with seating depth. Those were shot in once fired and annealed starline brass. Rifle is a 20" BHW standard profile 1:8. Not sure why the SD's were so horrible but thinking I may try some cci 450's next time out.
Do not start at any of these loads they are warm but don't show excessive pressure signs in my rifle. The 27.5gr 8208 in the 130gr RDF was just starting to show a slight ejector mark but that was it for all of these loads.
