Spoke to Travis at Odin Works and Hornady is specing the 105 and 108 grain bullets.
The new spec will be 2.200.
This should be the new fix for the problems I am having with the issue I am having with feeding and extraction.
But I am having an issue with how much powder I can get into a case. My thought is that I need to go to a hotter powder. The CFE223 powder give me better results than the 8208XBR.
What I am seeing is this round likes velocity above 2600 fps.
Travis told me a guy claimed a clover leaf pattern at 500 yards, I got a clover leaf pattern at 300 yards and folks were claiming BS. I have the pics to prove it. Odin is willing to work with me on this. They know their chamber is tight and Hornady screwed the pooch on their ammo spec. Going to try some 4350 powder next time around. it is a little bit on the hotter side, and load to a 2.200 OAL
