Black Fly
Single-Sixer
I've been reloading for more than 50 years, but have never reloaded for a semi auto rifle, except for a friend's Garand about thirty or forty years ago. I load for bolts, doubles, pumps, levers, as well as revolvers and pistols. My notes showed that I had to stay with a medium burning powder for the Garand. My son in law has a 180 series Mini and I have a 580 series on the way . Are there any special considerations I should pay attention to? Any secrets that help in developing loads that might be different from a bolt rifle. I promise not to tell anybody if you share them here. Peak velocity is not paramount. Accuracy and case life are more important. Most shooting will be for casual target shooting, with some use for predator hunting. I don't expect we will do much shooting over 200 yards with these rifles.
Appreciate any advise.
