Another mate recently had three out of 100 let go in his Rem 700 5R 308, a few bits of shit hit his face, so without glasses they are definitely dangerous.....
He was pretty pissed off, with both the Winchester primers & himself, especially after I told him not to use them....
Not much damage to the bolt face compared to others I have seen, but still visible damage none the less that degrades the value of his very nice rifle....
Nothing wrong with using magnum primers, if you have an existing load with standard primers it pays to back off a grain or so & work back up again.
I won't load any Winchester primers after seeing all the damage they have caused...
Nice one :thumbsup:
Hope it goes well. Good luck ...
Remember to try and shoot off a bag if possible - you're testing the loads, not testing your shooting ability ...
Anyone shoot lighter weight projectiles? Like 100-120gr?
@Gibo if you are going to be near Te Awamutu at any stage I got a part box of federal 210 match primers you can have all you need to do is come pick them up.
Finally got to try my first batch of reloads. I did cheat the ocw test a bit sorry @kiwi39. I counlnt bring myself to shoot 33 rounds so made 18 in .5 grain increments. Shot the best group i have ever so to say im wrapped is an understatement.
Happy with my shooting and cant believe how mush a little powder changes shit.
51.5 it is :D
