Found a sweet new load today

Post by Dr Pepper »

was trying a variety of loads in my 527 CZ Varmint with out great results. Then I went to the 32gr Vmax with 28gr of Winchester 748 powder. Shot 3 great groups today at 100 meters with the best inside 1/2 inch. Now to load up a couple hundred. Dr P

Nice, Did you try going higher?

Just interested because I never tried 748 with the 32's.
I've found both 35's and 39's liked 29.2gns. A touch over book max with the 39's.
I'm wondering if the 32's might like that charge also. :chin: That would be really weird.
There is another node even higher but thats well over book max. WS2 is required up there to drop pressures.

I just got a lb of Hexoganol Boron Nitride (hbn) If anyone thought a lb of WS2 was a lifetime supply you should see what a lb of hbn looks like. :lol:
I may have to test some of this combo myself this spring.

Mater of fact, I did go higher. I did 28.5 and 29gr loads, the 29 was tighter than the 28.5, but the 28 was a small ragged hole, so that is the one I'm going to load for for this rifle. FS
