And cratered, not saying I don't push until I find the limit but the signs are there.I do see plunger imprints on all three cases. You're about maxed out on pressure, I suspect, with plunger imprints on Lapua cases.
Yeah, it's definitely maxed out.I do see plunger imprints on all three cases. You're about maxed out on pressure, I suspect, with plunger imprints on Lapua cases.
Excellent accuracy but you do have some pressure there. Might back off .5-.75 gr to get rid of the ejector marks.Well, my Norma is where it should be with the 275 SBD2's at 300. It ain't the fastest, but I'll take accuracy over speed.

Loaded up a seating depth ladder and I need to back the powder off a lot. Had two charges loaded with the same seating depth ladder, based on previous data, and that 195 grain BD2 was moving at almost 3200 fps for a couple shots.
But, oddly enough, the first group at .010 off, with the largest charge, shot the best group.

No stuck cases or heavy bolt lift, but the primers were pretty flat.

Can't wait to see pictures from your trip!This should be enough for my float trip.
Ended up with 78.8 grains of Retumbo behind the 195gn BD2 for my 300 PRC. Took it out to 1000 over the weekend and it was well within a minute of moose.
Averaging right around 2980 FPS. Seated at 2.910" CBTO.

Looks great. Best of luck. Send pics of the Moose and wound channel if you can.,Can't wait to see pictures from your trip!
3550fps?!Finally drew first blood with my 25-06 pushing a BD2 at 3550fps. Entry hole was the diameter of the bullet but the exit was about 1.5" after passing through about 6" of groundhog. Poor groundhog didn't stand a chance. I'll be chasing antelope in Wyoming with this rifle in two weeks so I hope to have some autopsy photos to share afterwards.
