Now things are getting wacky with the 200 grain Laps and 4198...

More loads and a pattern developing:

Grains Av Vel (fps)
11 895
11.5 944
12 975
12.5 1064
13 Didn't try
13.5 1120

Tried 14 grains behind a 220 RN - weird velocity spikes.

BUT!

With the 250 SMKs (How much I hate using them at all!!!) and crying tears between each shot.

16 grains - 4198

a. 1080
b. 1077
c. 1108

Av: 1088fps and SD of 17fps

Now we are getting somewhere - the 250 fills the volume of the case well and the 16 grains sits deep enough for some consistent ignition.

Next steps:

a. Try 15.5 and 15.8 grains of 4198.
b. Get some 240SMKs!
c. Ignore the 200 grain Lapuas...

Wish me luck.
