Here's my first try at this reloading thing. I started with loading Hornady 105gr BTHP and LeverEvolution. Starting from scratch I loaded all of them based off the Hornady Black factory rounds I got the measurements from for the COAL and Base to Ogive. I used CCI 450 Primers and once fired Hornady cases from factory loads. I shot 4-5 rounds for each loaded at different powder weights with LeverEvolution, at the time I only had 27 brass prepped after messing with 3 for setting up dies and trimming, so at 29.0, 29.2, 29.4 they were 5 shots and at 29.6, 29.8, and 30.0gr they were 4 shots. Here's the results. I also loaded some Berger 108gr BT that I will post results later.
29.0 - 2726
29.2 - 2724
29.4 - 2731
29.6 - 2789
29.8 - 2842
30.0 - 2858
All from my Savage Shaw 26inch Barrel.
