Ka-boooom and stumped

Hi Jerryr98, I am glad to see your post. I thought I was loosing it on the reloading bench.

I would not worry with a Remington 700. That action was designed for much (!) higher loads. The AR15 'mouse gun' is a different story.

For 300/221 supersonics I switched to WC297 surplus powder that is supposed to be slower that H110/W296. My initial results were slightly more speed, better cycling, and more consistency. I am going to clock a larger batch soon and will post the results.

For subsonic loads, faster powders (like 2400) would be better.
