Swiss 1.5 vs Goex Cartridge

Print Post  
Well, I shot just about the last of my Swiss 1.5 this weekend at our 2 day BPCR match. I have more on backorder,  but to get me through,  I was able to grab 3 lbs of Goex Cartridge and 4f from the back corner of my dad's closet. Still in metal cans, lot from 2003.

Unfortunately 3 l s isn't really enough to do a lot of load development.  My Swiss lot liked a LOT of compression,  83gr, compressed .27", with a 535 postel (reduced front band) got me the 42 shot chrono group below.

Does anyone have old records of how much the goex liked to be compressed that I could use as a starting point? Im planning on using 4f as the priming charge with the old powder

I would start with the same volume and compression that you are all ready using and see how that works. When I was shooting I was running 65 to 68 gr in a 45-70 and seating a postel with just the front band exposed.
