Been doing my research and soon getting ready to do some testin'
What I have, is a Stainless Rem 700 ML, 50 Cal, that has been converted, courtesy of Badger Ridge, to use BH209. I have loaded and fired a primer so believe the Breechhead is adjusted properly, when I close the bolt it feels like a slight crush fit.
It is scoped with a Leupold VX III 4.5-14x44.
I plan to shoot the Barnes 290gr T-EZ (sabot) pushed with BH209.
Two areas I'm slightly not sure about. 1) Does it matter what weight bullet, I mean, any difference in whatever bullet is used as to what charge to use? i.e., I could shoot a 100 volume charge for any weight bullet?
and 2) to get that 100 volume charge, if I weigh, I will be weighing 65 grains of Blackhorn out on a powder scale.
I'll shoot these at a 50 yard range, with bench, covered, etc. so will weigh and load up several vials, not sure what they're called, plastic tubes that hold a specific volume powder.
Final Purpose: Hunting Load for Deer, and if a MZ hunt for Elk. All responses appreciated, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
