6 Creedmoor First Load Results! How Did I Do??

Time to see how I did! Getting my PRS load work closer now. Going to show how I seat and the results from my first test!
Here I am getting my measurements from my factory boxed Hornady 108 ELD Match ammo so I can start with a close replication of them for my own loading. I show how I am getting a starting CBTO, cartridge base to ogive, measurement with my Creedmoor Sports ogive tool. Then I will take that data and set up my Redding Competition seating die to get close from the first round. Then fine tune the adjustments to get the proper seating depth for these first test rounds. Once I get them all seated, I am off to the range!!
It was a very, very cold day!! I was losing light for the last group, but as you can see from my target, these are already looking really good I think!! I see a few good areas that are worth further testing, hopefully warmer and little more stable!! If I can test a larger batch of the best 3 powder charges from this test and they look good as well, I think I am off to a great start here! I hope that testing 10 of each will start to show which of those 3 will be the stand out and then I can test in smaller powder increments and maybe a little tweaks on the seating depths.
But, I think for my first attempt at my PRS rifle loads, these turned out really well!! Let me know what you think in the comments here!

I hope you all have an awesome 2024 and stay tuned, lots more fun stuff coming from me this year!!! Thank you very much, and see you on the next one!
