I use N160 in 130 copper bullets. I get 922ms from 56cm barrel. 

Yea, but i have .270 win and it is to fast powder. I had in mind few: N160,N555, RS62, RS60, RS52 

Hello all. I am still trying to find best options for 130ttsx and i would like to ask you guys what EU powder would you sugesst for 13ttsx bullet? I was thinking to go RS60 to get that high speed.

Any sugesstions? 

I went to load 130 ttsx with RS70 and 62.1 grains. My speed is high 1001ms and i shoot 1 pig 51kg and 12kg and i must say it works. Now i am waiting for my cnc machine to been deliver to me and will made my own hunting copper bullets. Fingers cross

I tested today again. 

I went from 930 to 1001ms. Do you think it is to brutal speed or? 

Is this over max ok? It is next node from 925ms

So i need to get speed up to get better stability? 

Today test of 56.8 was really strange.

1st 909ms

2nd  925ms

3th 932ms

You can see both went same hole. Only 1st one was on left but same vertical.

Anyone has any advice on it? 

Hello. 

Today i tested 130 TTSX with RS62. You can see my data. Any idea where to load? 

starting from 56 with 0.2 grains increase each shoot. My OBT in GRT tools say should be 925ms, so shoots 5 if you see 4-5 and 6 are good vertical i think?

1: 56 - 915ms

2: 56.2 - 909

3:56.4 - 914

4: 56.6 - 920

5: 56.8- 925

6: 57 - 932

7: 57.2 - 941

8: 57.4 - 954

9: 57.6 - 947

Interesting. I tought the like close to lands. Ok will try that. Next week i am getting box of 130 ttsx and trying to chose right powder. Was thinking to go new N555 or mayby i go with RS52. What do you say ? 

Yesterday i wanted to test lead bullets to see how is barrel and i tested Berger 150 vld hunting with RS70. You can see barrel is not problem. Lots of people is telling me that copper bullets are not that precised. What is your experience? 

905ms

150 VLD Hunting at 84.06mm coal

RS70

GM210M LP

Nosler case

I resized case, press bullet little in to case with bullet seater  and closed the bolt.   

So, my max oal is 3.327 (84.54mm), i tried to reload at 3.210 (81.55mm) and 3.289 (83.55). Animals are wild pigs, deer, stag. I am not really satisfied with new gun to shoot 2.5cm group wit Lotherwalter barrel. I used to test N150, but i saw it has really high BA than normal. So my load was 50.4gr of N150 at 3.289, with nosler brass 70.9grains H2O, federal premium match LR primers and 130 GMX hornady. I have also option to pick RS70, RS60, N550 or N555.

My speed with this reload was 924ms - 3031fps avarage 

Hello all. I just bought .270win Titan 6 (560mm,15mm,1/10) and i can not make it work with 130 grains GMX. Do you guys have same experience with copper bullets? I am asking, because in my CZ .308 i also could not make it work with e-tip from Nosler and GMX. I am trying to develop "lead free" hunting reload, but 2.5cm group on 100m is for me not that good. That is min group i could make with gmx. SD and es are good, 3shoots ,925ms avarage, ES:3, SD:1.7

Any advice on this one?

Hello everyone, long time i didnt post anything, so today i would like to ask you for your experience in lubricants. Will it effect on neck tention if i use lub on one case and not on another? Will give me any value or just beter /smoother sizing? What lub do you use for inside case and how you clean it off? I was thinking to use just graphit powder and div case neck in to it. 

Regards

I can not find his blog anymore. Any idea where to look? I google German Salazar blog but it didnt come out.

N555 works good with 143 eld-x , but question is, what do you get from N555 powder, that you can not get from N550/N160? Personally i bought this powder but loading 46 grains even for scenars 139 is questioning myself why not just go with 160 or 550 or even rs60. I used rs62 , but it is time sensibility. I think that coating get "destroyed" over time and is not working like fresly bought powder. But that just me. 

Rs70 is temp stable. I did not test it, because i changed bullet company to Lapua. I got one bullet hornady 147 eld-m with totally different ogive ( i could not close bolt) and for me this is enought big excuse to go for new bullet company. As i already chaged barrel (tested few bullets with old barrel) i know i will not be disapointed and damm i was right. You can see 139 Lapua scenar x5 with N550 below.

I think i will load group number 4, wich was 93.5 grains of RS80. This was at 300m range and i had a lot of problems with my sand bag/mirrage

If you have 5 loads and you start at 90 grain, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 Yo shoot 1shoot 90, 2nd 91, 3th 92 ets... When you get to last you wait to cool barrel down and than you go from back to 1st shoot. 95, 94,93,92,91,90 ... so you repeat again now from start of 90, 91,92....till you empty box 

Yea, i agree with round-robin. Will try it in saturday.

0.1 grain in .338LM is nothing mate. It is not 6.5 creed that you would do load by 0.2 or 0.3 grain increasment. Even so a good node lets say 43 grains (6.5creed) can shoot good  between 42.8 and 43.3. What i want to say is that in 338 load 0.5 grain will have min effect and if node it 92 it will shoot also at 91, alteast not really THAT huge group open. I can start 89 up to 97 but min i would go is by 0.5 grains. Yes i never shoot RS80. I was using N570.  But i cleaned totally barrel and i will test next time 91.5 , 96.5 and 97   

I mostly did shoot each group than wait. Only for 92 group i shoot 2 shoots (1st 2) and i shoot another 3 on end. Because i saw 2 shoots really spread and i thought will be bad so i left 3 shoots for end. Mayby i will try 91.5 grains to see. But for long range do i seak accuracy or better sd ? Cose it may be good at 100m and bad at 1000m 

Regards

Yea, it is 100m. I am interested in group 3 (94), it has nice SD but on target it is awfull. 

Hello, i would like to ask you if this is normal groups after barrel cleaning ? I shoot 600 rounds and never cleaned gun and now i clean it and got this kind of groups when testing for new powder. I measured speed (only 2) for each load and than shoot 5 groups of 5 shoots.
