About 10-15% lower with the SRP. I had single digit ES&SD before I peened the mouths and created uneven neck tension. Even with with the messed up necks, SD isn't overly terrible. These are from the "bad brass" in my post above.
SD of 4.3... that dog'll hunt.
Why so light on the 175's?
If you're in the market for SRP 6.5, Peterson has been more consistent from lot to lot than the Lapua. As an added bonus , Peterson provides the AMP codes for every lot of brass. No more "sacrificing" brass for annealing.
Interesting. I'm sitting on about 500rounds of loaded LRP so probably won't be changing but I may go SRP if I build a 25 Creed.
Assuming muzzle velocity and powder charge? The ladder test for my rifle showed that the accuracy of 3 shot-groups was best (0.4 MOA at 100 yards) at 75.5 gr of RL-26.
I dont cast or use all lead bullets in pistols because it's not cost effective for me. But you got one helluva deal on that carbide die set . Good for you!!
Free from the father in law, never used
I use cast lead from Missouri Bullet Co. 158gr ACTION SWC. I don’t run them very hot. They are dirty/smoky but I can get probably 500 rounds through my GP100 before I start to notice things getting too dirty.
Most of the ones I have used are powder coated to help prevent the lead fouling issue. Seems to work well enough in the 38 specials and the same for the .44 mag and my .458 SOCOM.
My guess would be that the pulled bullet would be the 3714 as the plier marks would cause more drag unless the bullet weight was lighter?
What velocities are you getting with those bullets?
Good question, I’ll have to let you know in about a week. Should be in the 3230s with the ELD-Ms and hope to kiss 3350 with the HHTs.
