My stuff is packed as I am moving so just some brief input from memory.
I used quickload to get base values. SMK was pretty close to predicted. I think Hornady ELD showed pressure well before predicted in my ladder loads.
22 JP barrel.
New Starline brass. 2.26 coal
I had to cut the day of gathering data short because the brightness was causing grief to my chrono. (Have since picked up a lab radar)
To my memory, AR Comp and 120 gr smk worked very well. I dont remember the ladder loads and which produced what. On the high end one was 2600 FPS + with sub MOA. No pressure signs, but noticeable more recoil than the rest.
Better groups and velocity than Hornady ELD. I think ELD might have been 120 gr?
For what ever reason the lighter ELD started to show pressure signs a tad above the velocity of what the factory 123 GR ELD produce = 2510 - 2550ish. Maybe 50 FPS more than factory showed signs where quickload simulated it shouldnt. But I start below and work up so all was well as I didnt keep trying hotter.
I know I havent tried 107 TMK, hopefully Im not confusing Berger in there, but I dont believe I did any loads for those yet.
