Loading jacketed for the above is giving me some trouble. Chapuis states with 90% certainty it was regulated with Norma 285 Oryx.
I have not been able to load a 285 and get it to shoot any semblance of a group. At 100 yds I am in the 4-5 inch group size. Loading 64 grs of 4350 gives me flattened primers. I am reluctant to try a heavier charge. What powder would you suggest I try for what appears to be a need for higher velocity?
My cast loads of 285 FN regulate well at a load of 38 grs of 5744 for one shot from each barrel. The next two shots are 6 inches left and slightly higher tho group size is the same.
