[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 202478, member: 7095"] Back from the range. Windy day today but was able to fireform 40 cases and got some nice groups all things considered. I thought my shoulder would hurt more but it doesn't feel too bad. Here were my findings. I had some issues with my Forster Press and didn't get to load all the bullets up next to or in the lands. Most were .010 or so back from the lands. I loaded the fireform load with 90 gr of h1000 and I was getting only around 2700-2750 fps with the 300gr SMK. I'm shooting to get 3000fps. I did order a longer handle yoke for my Forster Press so next go around will be much better. Water Capacity with REM brass 300rum: Factory brass was 114.2 grns water Fireformed 338 Tejas put me a 120.6 grns water and I think it might go up another .5 grain or so. Anyways what do you guys think I should start at for the next load? You think I can start at 94gr of H1000 with the 300gr SMK? If so what would you think I should work up to? Any replies will be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
