keep a dummy round or two with your dies for later use.

I'm always scared that I'll be the "dummy"……find it later, thinking that somehow I failed to include it with my last loaded ammo!
Then use it on the best, biggest trophy animal I'll ever see!

I do need to bump up my load. I used 39gr of BL-C2 and only getting 23xx-24xx fps. I went pretty conservative. (Range 36-41.2) My next loads will be 39.5 & 40gr.I'm always scared that I'll be the "dummy"……find it later, thinking that somehow I failed to include it with my last loaded ammo!

Howdy, glad you figured it out.
Where did you find your load data???
Did you ask Sig or anyone for loads.
This is a 277 fury right.

I just looked back at the data from xxl-reloading to make sure I remembered correctly, but they were waaaay off, at least with my rifle. I can't remember the barrel lengths they used, but I'm running 16" and just a bit under 80k, but below for sure. If I used what they had suggested I'd be around 2200-2300 fps. They are very conservative, it's a reference for sure, but they seemed so far off, it wasn't really even a reference. Use some of their powder/bullet combos for 308 or 6.5 and compare to what several other books have for max and min in those calibers. You will notice xxl-reloading is completely different. Their max, it seemed was as much as 2-3 grains of powder or more below what other manuals listed.... and 2-300 fps slower too, which would seem obvious. Moral of the story was that their max pressures didn't line up with any of the other reloading manuals I had. Just FYI and something to research.
