Title: Re: Fireforming loads
Post by madsenshooter on Apr 27th, 2018 at 7:54pm
Another day, new cases to expand!  I bought some of the BCC cases which allow me to finish sizing to the shoulder using the rifle.  Back to the Boosted WC860 loads.  I got a group that would hold the black using 5.2gr of 10B101, 47gr of WC860, (total of 52.2gr) BCC cases, #34 primer.  Pressure was mild.  Out of curiosity I fired five loaded with 47gr of 760, which should yield approx 2500-2600fps.  Some references will show that over max, others say I can still go a ways up.  The 760 load showed higher pressure on the cases (still not max), a touch more recoil or more sharpness to the perceived recoil, but they appeared to be going slower than the boosted 860 load as they impacted lower on the target with the same sight setting.  I want to note, I'm using my 92/96 that has the uncut guide rib which was fitted to bear on the receiver.  So I really have two locking lugs, like the Norwegians intended!  I'm thinking some of the slow burning lot of WC852 would work pretty good for this task.
