Re: my .30 super

Well a range report seems due. I'm having a hell of a time getting this rifle to slow down to its factory listed velocity of 2575 out of a 28" bbl. My first attempt was with H4831 and the second was Reloader 22. I know backing off these bulky powders can be trouble. I'm almost 10% under published loads for the belted version. 64 grains of reloader 22 gave me 2775fps, getting close now. A reduced load calculator tells me I need just under 58 grains. I'm unsure if this is too little powder to deliver consistant ignition. I may give alliant a call in the morning. I also just stubbled on some reloader15 loads and I have a can of that lying about from my .256 Westley. Well other than being a bit zippy she shoots great. More testing should settle her right in.
Steve
