RamblinRon Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago What is the practice when loading very light charge weights for 30-06 bolt action in BAMM or Doughboy matches. Use a filler or not? If so, what is recommended as a filler? Quote
El Chapo Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I load 18 grains of Alliant 2400 and a bullet, no filler. I've loaned the rifle to numerous people who won the matches shooting against me, so I can share that not only has it worked very well, it's worked very well at making me take 2nd place to my own friends with my own rifle.

Garrison Joe Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago No filler. BAMM is not THAT much a precision shooting match. Besides, the use of any filler with a shouldered case and smokeless powder is strongly DISCOURAGED by Lyman and Hodgdon. Can lead to ringed chambers, and they don't really understand why. good luck, GJ Quote
