Hey Robert…care to share any load data for that 208gr Amax group??? 🙂

Got this 3 shot group at 200 yards with 168g FGMM. I would have tried for 5 but it was my last 3… lol
I haven't been back to the range yet, at least not for grouping. Shot some steel last weekend. This T3 Lite is just an incredible rifle. I'm currently working up some hand loads with 175g SMK and H4895 (Cannot find Varget or IMR 4064 anywhere). I'll see how these do next weekend. I'll put some more up there with some match ammo that I have left (168g FGMM and Black Hills 175g).

Nice group as well…keep posting new ones!
Its alway nice when everything comes together for that one great group of the day, makes it all worth it.I only shoot CCI primers…
308 – CCI 200
223 – CCI 400 & CCI Br4 (will be ditching the 400's when they are all gone, cap is too soft for any high pressure load…discovered this with the 80.5gr Bergers I'm playing with…).

300WSM – CCI 250 MagAwesome! I ran into a box of 1000 CCI 200 at a local store and bought them. Cannot beat not having to pay hazmat fees 🙂
From what I have been reading, the only difference between CCI 200 and the BR series is the person that watches the machine… lol! I'll save the extra bucks and stick with the CCI 200's since they're easier to find.
I was able to find IMR 4064 online today and ordered it. Killed me with the hazmat and shipping, but it will be worth it for testing my hand loads. I'll soon have some H4895 and IMR 4064 loads, both using SMK175g through FGMM brass for testing and I'll post up the pics. I might look into getting some Laupa brass down the road but for now this will work.
I also picked up a FN SPR A1 24″ barrel for a helluva deal so I will run a side by side comparison for anyone that is interested.
Jealous of your 300WSM… I see one in my future 8)

I'm extremely lucky that there is no powder supply shortage where I live in Ontario…Cabela's and local retailers seem to always have stock. If it is sold out, which is rare you can always get it within a couple weeks. I always have 1lb bottles tucked away in emergency…
The Br-2 primer differs from the CCI200 for large rifle is only “select” materials…I have used CCI200 for a couple years with no issues what so ever right up to max loads, but at some point will be switching as well to Br-2 for all loading. The Br-2 tests I've run have shown it to be more consistent with ES/SD readings at all powder ranges during load development. Consistency is key of you are group shooting.
The Br-4 primer is totally different from CCI400 for small rifle, not only select materials but the primer cup is thicker and it handles a lot more pressure before you get primer flow or cratering.
Thats way i'm switching to these for all 223 loading,…I primarily shoot 60-80gr bullets with 223 and the CCI400 have been it or miss with various bullet / powder weight combos…Everything I've tested proves the Br line to be a better more consistent primer, but you won't really notice any difference in the large rifle if shooting groups at 100yrds but it does show differences running rounds over a chronograph so at extend ranges it will help for sure with the consistency.

I recently did a Cold Bore Trial on my T3. The last day I think I had “cold shooter” problems.
