Well, I rolled my first round ever this afternoon. This was the setup tweaker, where I fine tuned all the dies to exactly what I wanted. I also checked the fit in my 300's chamber, no issues that I could tell. I'll be putting out about 9 more of this same recipe to shoot and see how they do, and maybe 10 more with a hair more powder. I have some different bullets that should be here tomorrow, some Barnes TAC-TX 110gr 300 BLK pills, so I'll work a few starters for them, too. I figure 40 rounds total for now, until I'm able to go test shoot them. I'm excited that I finally got to where I can make my own bullets!
The recipe:
Hornady 150gr SST bullet
16.4gr IMR 4227 powder
CCI #400 primer
LC brass, cut, formed, trimmed and tumbled
COL: 2.090
The bullet sits lower than I intended at first, but the crimp groove was higher than I expected.
