So, a while back when cabalas was cabalas I picked up some Lapua palma brass from the bargain cave for $30. finally getting around to using it. Did some initial testing (20 rounds) with IMR4895 and was impressed, ran a ladder from 42.5 to 45.5 and couldn't see much difference in groups at 100yrds with 155gr HPBT. all had cloverleaf like touching holes. I know 5 rounds doesn't hold too much statistical value, so I will now need to ramp up the round count. looking for advise.
What increment do you move in powder charge when you run ladder tests?
100yrds or 200M for groups? (choices at my local range)
IMR4895 VS 4064, Varget, BLC2...? I will be using CCI 450 primers for now.
Do you chrono loads when looking for accuracy nodes, or just after you have identified one you like to tune?
Rifle is Rem 700P, 1-12 twist, Will also be trying this later in Savage 10T-SR 1-10 twist.
Thanks for any input.
