Re: Bullet Diameter Question for 9 x 56 MS

I'm playing with my 9X56 with the following results: I am up to slightly over 46 grains of Varget with a 180 grain Sierra jacketed pistol bullet, which is slightly over what Sierra recommends for a .358 Winchester with this bullet. The bullet mikes between .356" and .3565". The bore cerrosafes at .3575".

A 225 grain Speer (.3575") will slip into the fired case, but I only had the one, so I haven't tried a load with them. That would be my next step.

I am getting around 1.5" groups at 100 yards with the 180 grain bullet using the somewhat primitive Nickel 1-4X variable scope, which has a reticle which is enlarged with the increase in magnification, like in the early B&L variables.

It has the "running game" reticle, consisting of a pointed picket post, surrounded by a circle and crosshair. The circle has something to do with establishing the lead on running game, I believe.

Not too easy to get a reliable sight picture, but I'm working on it.

Right now, I'm to the point that I would feel safe going hunting with the load, but I think I can do better.
