More range data and one oops

.270, Stevens , mod 200 unaltered, 130gr. Speer sp, FC cases, FC primers.

52 grains DP 85 oal=3.300"2776 to 2822 fps., Accurate.

35gr. Acc.2200, oal=3.243", clean ,primers a little flat, 2430 to 2526 FPS.3 shot 5/8" group at 50 yds.,nice at 200 yds. Blew a primer but saw no difference in velocity or repeatability?

This rifle has a history of showing pressure with loads that seem mild in other rifles. Testing the 2200 may have compounded an adverse situation.
I,ve concluded not to use acc2200 for reduced loads in this .270.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
