Got my brass primed tonight. 20 rounds of 6.5 CR and 20 of 308. Thanks Shadow 9mm for all the help and suggestions. Hardest part was getting the stupid hand primer set up.
Loading H4350 for the 6.5CR. 10 each incrementally at about 4 grains difference to max with the 130 grain Sierra Gamechanger and 125 grain Nosler Partition.
Varget for 308. Same method with 150 grain Hornady Interlock and 168 grain Hornady A-Max (not in production anymore, but getting stocked up on clearance sales).
Checking velocity on each starting from low to high and will stop at the first sign of over pressure and back down to the previous loading for next step.
Next step will be to take the top 3 loads below max pressure and check for velocity deviation.
Rifles - CVA Cascade 6.5 CR and Christensen Mesa 308.
