Working up load for new barrel.

Criterion 26" SS varmint profile .223 on one of my Savage 110s. Loading today for most effective jump. Starting at touching the lands and working out in .010 increments with 10 rnds loaded for each to be shot in 5 rnd groups and then return for verification. Using Berger 73 gn target bullets over 22 gn of IMR-8208 in weighed Starline cases set off with BR-4 primers. Should give about a 2800 fps. Once the baseline is established I will be changing over to 205M primers to see the effect on SD. Whatta Hobby!
