Nice group with my Europa 66
      01/04/17 09:50 PM

For two years i tried to find a good load for my Europa 66 in 8x68S.
But i was using A-frame bullet, and i have find a lot of problems.
Theese bullets are a little bit larger than the european, but it's enoght to bend the collet during the seating operation: the case is very thick and tough. The problem was solved using an acute angle burr and annealing the case. BUT theese good bullets tend to generate high pressure with N160 powder, and also reaching the max pressure i could just achieve 840 ms with 200 grains bullet without exceeding 4400 bar.Always having poor grouping but good terminal effect anyway.
Probably should try MRP powder instead.
Having still N160 i started reloading german bullets, DK, H-Mantel and TIG from RWS.
Well... The old Lady seems to preffer rws bullets. Always good velocity and nice grouping. This is the last outcome, yesterday afternoon.
As latins used to say... unicuique suum.
