RIMMED, 52 grain FBHP Berger, 13.5 grains T680, PPU cases, Wolf primers, oal=1.850",2503 to 2660 fps. Deadly when velocity is close. As velocity increased the point of impact rose.The differential between 2503fps. and 2660fps. was 1 1/2". The 7 shots fired were true to form in degree.

To this point the loading has been within published .218 Bee data and the pressure indications seem low. Future loading will be gradually stepped up to get some indicated max. loads. roger

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..

When you get the sooty cases do you increase the charge of that powder or do you change powder type?Good Luck

Some time a little of both, plus make a greater effort to clean lube off the cases. Being in wildcats anealing and neck brass thickness have to be considered. Thanks for the response!! roger
