I just lost all confidence in a my old-school lead tipped deer bullets. I’m screwed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

85gr Sierra Gameking Hollow Points or 95gr Nosler Partitions have excellent performance reputations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I understand your problem correctly, you have a new AI with a short throat, and its forcing you to seat bullets too deep into the case. So my suggestion is to get the throat lengthened. Its not uncommon to have throats lengthened when bullet choice doesn’t work well with short throats. Its...

Its not a gilded metal jacket. Its a solid copper jacket which tends to copper foul more readily than gilded metal jackets, such as those used for ballistic tips and accubonds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would definitely find a good gunsmith to lengthen that throat to your liking. It will be cheap and change your world. I can’t imagine you getting much done with any heavies without throat alteration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over the years, I had a shotshell mentor, a hunting rifle cartridge mentor, and finally a benchrest cartridge mentor. The hours I spent, and conversations I had with these guys were priceless. I read everything I could get my hands on first, but the learning curve skyrocketed as a result of my...

Sciroccos like jump pretty much invariably. 0.030” min., 0.120” common. Never heard of throat too short with bullets that jump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scirocco[emoji768] II, with the Signature Black Tip[emoji769], is a superbly accurate hunting bullet designed for long-range efficiency. It carries velocity and energy better than any of its competitors. Its sleek design and high ballistic coefficient produces the flattest trajectory in...

Griffin Armament E-tac rings are super cool and under $1000 i’d go with Vortex Viper of your choice with 30mm tube. If over $1000, Nightforce. Scope question is a little vague though. No sure what youre looking to do with it. Not sure about the 20moa base with that bullet choice either. Sent...

Reloader 19 and Reloader 22 were always better in my .270WSMs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thats a great story! Great way to ensure our traditions and skills are passed on to the future. I was fortunate to have a couple of “old timer” mentors that never minded all my questions. Many days of discussion and hands on reloading and minor gunsmithing. I still pick these guys’ brains and...

No offense taken at all. Of course, I think the first “fouling” shot in a typical series on a clean barrel is generally the heaviest fouling round, regardless if the barrel is newly chambered or if it has just been broken in or if it is almost shot out. I also believe there is a point where...

I’m a believer in minimal break-in. I’ve chambered numerous barrels and found that copper fouling removed is worst on very first shot, and gets better after one or two 2-3 shot sequences and cleaning. Done. They are usually good to go to 600 yards at that point if the chambering was done...

That’s a perty round![emoji471][emoji631] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think that’s one of the reasons we bed the action in the first place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not continue with 55? I never heard of bedding as a reason to reduce lb ft torque on the action. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bedded or not, I like to torque to factory recommendations, shoot, & retorque. Never found it necessary to deviate from this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
