We finally got out on Saturday and did a little shooting. I was shooting my .22 Hornet & .270 Win. I was trying some Sierra bullets for both calibers.
For the .22 Hornet I was testing the 45gr (1210) bullet with LiLGUN powder and Federal primers in Winchester brass. I started with 11.8 gr of LILGUN and increased .3 gr for each test. Right from the start the federal primers appeared to be flattened more than I like so I'm a little concerned about that. I had contacted Sierra earlier and they had said that 12-13gr of LILGUN would be fine with this bullet. Maybe I'll try CCI primers next time, too bad I still have 35 cases primed up with Federal. I did like the 12.4 gr load.
For my .270WIN I was shooting the 140gr GameKing (1845), CCI 200 Primers, IMR4451 powder & Federal brass. I started this test at 50 Gr of IMR4451 and ended at 52.1 Gr. The best group in this test was 51.2 GR. I'll try to add the pictures.
My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
