reloading for M&P 10

[ole-cowboy]

2nd attempt at a custom load @ 100yd :
178 gr Amax
she can do better... going to refine this load at 300yd

Good start!

I figured more than the projectile would be given when I opened this thread. Don't be stingy.

that is 43.9gr of Varget with a COAL 2.810

still tuning this load.. 100yds doesn't really mean much

Looking good! I haven't tried 175gr bullets yet. I was having very good results with 155 gr AMAX and 168 gr Nosler and Hornady HPBT match bullets in front of Varget prior to breaking my R arm in April. A few more weeks of PT and I hope to be sorted out enough to resume shooting.

I can't wait to get my Dillon Carbide dies for 308. I have been waiting months. I called them up a couple of weeks ago and they said they were having problems with their suppliers providing quality parts and that I could expect the die set by the end of October. I ordered them in June. ACK!!

Anyway, I have 500 rounds of Sierra Matchking BTHP patiently waiting to be seated into piles of Lake City Brass.

I have a pound of IMR 4895, IMR 4198, and W760 to start with. I know everyone really likes Varget, but I can't ever find it. I was lucky to get what I got!

IMR 4895 w/ 168 gr BTHP works well in my M&P 10. I wish I could get more. I placed an order for powder and primers in Jan with Powder Valley and I'm still waiting. I think I made a mistake when I told them there was no rush . I'm using LC brass and the MilSpec load data.
