30/06 load develoment. 175 SMK. We found the perfect combination!

whoa [Music] [Applause] [Music] today we are going to be doing a 3:06 group test 100 yards with some smk 175 grain bullets to progress and then the powder 4064 so let's get started alright here we are at the loading Mitch my favorite chair in the whole house now what working on is 30.6 and we're going to be developing a load with the Sierra s MK 175 one of my favorite bullets of all time for the 30 Cal works great in a 308 one and 10 twist works wonderful and a 300 Win Mag works good in a 30 out six and many other 30 Cal cartridges but today we are working on 30.6 okay I've got these lubed I'm gonna load four groups of three four different powder charges of IMR forty sixty four and I'm going to be using a CCI two hundred primers alright I'm on load these three right here thirty nine point five forty nine point two forty eight point nine forty eight point six and we're going to pick the best group and then we're going to duplicate three shots to prove that that is that is a good load okay now what I use I use the liter press self indexing turret press it's wonderful I have used many single stage presses and when I got to this one I'm like Eureka this is it I have used progressive press in spent I load a whole lot of different cartridges so the progressive press was huh it was a pain in the neck switching from one to the other best I can figure you need one progressive press for each each cartridge but this turret we're holding to WordPress from by Lee is the is the key man it's the answer it's really cheap higher bucks and it works I've loaded a couple thousand rounds or more with this particular press here and I get 0-2 mm run out on my cartridges okay I've got these lubed I got these cases lubed with the one shot horny case loop by far my favorite Lube used all of them and this is my best one now I am using today Haley call it die now that's my favorite die if you have once fired brass or two or if you have brass that's been fired in your rifle that's what you want to use you can use the Lee call it die I really like it if I start having a heavy bolt handle need to bump it back then I will use my bushing die by Hornady it's a match grade one of the bushing die which it's the next best thing but you can actually bump the shoulder back whatever you want 1000s back to thousands pack on that but the Lee call it died does not bump the shoulder back so when you get into about three to four fires you start having a heavy bolt handle so it's good to bump them back after once you start feeling that whether it's three four or five whenever bump the shoulder back up thousands and then you can go back to using the lead for a couple more times but it doesn't stretch the brass fits your chamber really tight so what we're gonna do now is I'm going to show you the proper way to set this call it die now there's instructions with the set and certainly follow the instructions but I have a loaded case right here with this bullet so on the outside neck is measuring okay three three three okay it's almost like six six six but different now I'm going to try to bump that back about mm one to two ones okay to is a little bit better but I will take one alright so now I hope you use this done many times so I've already got a mark but I will show you how how it works all right I'm gonna grab a sized I mean a Lube case and leave they say you don't have to suck as you don't have to lube them I do I've done it both ways now came over turn into third came over turn into third came over okay now we're gonna measure the neck tension okay we are now at three three three and I'm putting quite a bit of pressure so we're close I'm going to just go ahead and when you move this over when you move this over you turn it and it gives you a tighter neck tension on the bullet you're just looking for the outside marci turn into third turn into third the instructions they say to turn it half okay we've got three three one that gives us mm undersize so that'll hold the bullet really nice okay now I'm going to go ahead I've got all of these I'm going to go ahead and I've got them lubed and we'll go ahead and size these and then I'm going to trim them and then this is not a step-by-step reloading video there's plenty of those out there plenty of good ones out there now I use an RCBS trimmer we'll go ahead and trim them to the proper length and then we will find our cartridge overall length that'll be the next step and then we'll clean clean the cases chamfer inside outside and I have this point of the case Petrino which is really good that's that's all you need right there has a little nifty place to put the extra brushes and stuff and there's the military crimper remover that's really nice okay I'm gonna go ahead and size these and then clean them up trim them and then we'll come back okay you've got them all sized and primed ready for a powder and a bullet but wait a minute we don't know how long the case needs to be the overall case length okay we're gonna find the cartridge overall length now this is a s MK 175 sierra matchking okay so we need to find our overall length all right now got this Hornady case overall length page and I got a modified case it's modified threaded thirty out six and it could get them for about any cartridge you need to snag it up now it's got a a little spring rod that's course adjustable sit coming out the top there okay we're gonna pull it back and we're going to set the bullet and down in the modified case push it forward a little bit now it's gonna tricky getting in there where do they make a straight and they make it a crooked a bit okay I'm gonna be consistent push it in there with quite a bit of force push the little spring rod in and tighten now if you do your job right the bullet will stay in the chamber that's good as you know you touch the rifling with that bullet now I'm gonna take cleaning rod push that bullet out got it out alright we're gonna put the bullet in there know you are going to use this part which is the bullet compensator and I've got it zeroed you just clamp it to your digital calipers they're just in there now that got tricky part is to get it centered on to the cartridge properly something about it like that okay we're gonna call that okay we're gonna call that two-inch 724 thousands all right I'm gonna write that down and we're gonna do it two more times okay we are ready to check our overall length now I do three just like I did in the chamber of my rifle and I'm gonna bump these back I've bumped them back eight thousandths now I do three because the ogive may be a little different okay I'm putting quite a bit of pressure on there go straight up and down that's seven will say 14.5 now this is the first group that I loaded okay that's two minutes 7:15 now on some particular bullets the ogive is going to be a little bit different from bullet to bullet so okay that's 4/10 it's actually 30 I probably push it down 13.5 yeah 13.5 so that's not too bad so we know we're not going to be jammed up into the rifling and that we don't want that because that's going to cause excess pressure so I'm going to set these three aside mark them and set them aside and then load the next three and so on and so forth now I will post I will post the average velocity shot-to-shot velocity and the deviation now if I find one that's extremely accurate I will definitely post all the all the good stuff the deviation because you want the least amount of deviation from shot to shot as you can get if you're shooting long range if you're shooting Oh 500 yards it don't really matter that much but if you're trying to shoot out to a thousand or further that velocity deviation is going to mean a lot now I just I have this run-out gauge Hornady makes and when back when I was doing the sizing on these cases I went I turned it 1/3 each time now Hornady they recommend under two and this one I checked these three and they're actually under of 1000s it's less than a thousandth run out now I'm turning this and we're looking for a wobble there call that run out then we we don't want now if you try if you check your factory MO you'll have 6000 run out that'll be about average what you know they I've shot some pretty good targets out there with the factory ammo that's going to have the run out and it takes a good rifle too because when if your boat face does not match your chamber you will have even though you resize it you will still not have a squared chamber I mean a squared case your case is gonna be a little wobbly when you trim it but but that's okay and this this ruffle I have we built it ourselves and with the Gordy's method of blueprinting the action it's got a shilling barrel which it's it's very true so I expect it to have very little run-out and suppose if you use the Lee call it die there again okay try not to make this too long let's get out to the shooting [ __ ] and try these out [Applause] so we just got done shooting this is the target you can kinda see where the bullet I hope you guys like this video and I hope you guys like the m1 30 carbine video we're gonna be throwing some ballistic gel out in 130 carbine so don't forget to watch that video will show the velocity and this and their description down below and so if you guys like this video don't forget to Like comment and subscribe
