Also I forgot to ad I reduced my cartridge overall length by 30 thou with the ELD-X so they're now jumping 60 thou.

So I used ryansonghurst trick today, had the ammo on the floor by the A/C vent and had them nice and toasty by the time I got the range. Plus it was actually a pretty warm winter day here in the...

My barrel was pretty warm but the time I got to the 46.5 rounds, does that count? :P

Yes temperature stability and being close to the line is on my radar, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to...

I thought I saw and ejector mark on one of the lower charge weight rounds but I went over them again and couldn't find any. The primers all look reasonably flat but all still had round edges. I also...

Yeah I often get lower but consistent readings on days with full cloud cover and I get especially strange readings on days that are patchy cloud days if that makes sense. Goes from sunny as and then...

So I had a re think and loaded some hotter rounds to see how far I could go. Went up from 45.5 to 46 and 46.5. Definite heavier bolt lift at 46.5 but all good at 46.

It was a cloudy day so the...

So the rain stopped briefly this afternoon so I got out and shot a couple of groups on a Milo tin.

Promising signs at 45 grains, 45.5 had a small ejector mark on all three cases this time so I...

Yeah the primers all look pretty flat to me, only at 43 grains had nice rounded one. I would hope speeds are much higher than 2950, hopefully the sun will be out next time.

I've uploaded the same photo twice, once the right way around and then sideways for some reason :XD:

So finally got out and shot them, just a ladder looking for pressure signs but I got all the way to 46 grains of superformance and the primers look just as flat as they did on the light loads, I...

Hey that's good to know 257weatherby

Starline brass turned up today so I'll be checking that over and loading up a ladder, haven't shot the ones I loaded in Winchester brass so I'll pull them and...

That's what I'm hoping, I loaded up a ladder this morning to 46 grains, still quite a bit of empty case.

Seated them to 2.730 which will give 30 thou of jump to the lands. Mine is 20 inches long...

The 90 grain ELD-X turned up this morning, man they are tiny compared to the 7mm 162 ELD-X

Looking forward to checking max overall length and getting some loaded up.

Superformance data seems to line up with Barnes data for same/similar weights :thumbsup:

Hi team, doing a bit of homework whole I'm waiting for bullets and dies for my freshly barrel swapped 243.

I see Hornady have data for the 95 grain SST and 100 grain interlocks with superformance...
