Where to start?

Looking for a start up load for a. 50 Disc Extreme. I will be using 460 gr. conicals, #11 caps and T7 3f.

Thanks!

Couple of thoughts... T7-3f really does burn hot (hi Temperature) I might suggest the you consider a .510x.125 Shot card available from TOW.  THis will protect the bottom of the bullet from melting on the way up the bore.

I shoot that bullet with 90 grs. of powder but most other will tell you 70-80 grains would do the job with that bullet and they are correct... I just got better groups with 90 + I like the extra velocity...

Thanks Mike...

In what increments do you go up? I didn't know if I should dink around one grain at a time.

Oh heck! it takes 5 grains to see any real difference - I go in 10 grain increments by volume...

You might start at 60 just to get the feel of it...  but you will not stay there long...

Here is a ballistic sheet for mine...

I like those ballistics, Mike. Thanks for the great info.
