Gday Guys, Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all.
I shoot a Tkka T3x in an MDT chassis, I am hunting inside 500m, however would like to be able to target shoot effectively to 1k +, would a SMK HPBT 175, 195 or 200 + projie be the way to go? I only want one round/load for both hunting and long range target.
My next question is (excuse my naivety on the subject - I havent been reloading for long), since measuring my CBTO I have realised i can seat a 175 smk hpbt bullet out farther of the case, allowing more powder capacity, I am currently 60 thou off the lands, CBTO is 2.883 to fit an MDT mag. ADi rifle data states that for my below load not to use no more than than 76.5 of 2213, however since i am seating the bullet out farther is there a rule of thumb on the increase of powder? ex. +.2, +. 4 etc.
My current load is:
175 SMK HPBT
76 gr of 2213sc
CBTO 2.883
60 thou off lands.
I welcome any feedback from anyone who has a ton more experience than i do.
Cheers,
