    Gaps in your caliber battery

    with the 30tc being a creed i guess i could go 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 30creed, ie 30tc for all gaps and maybe 20cal. if wikipedia is correct, then the 30tc is the parent case? 30tc has (listed) about 1,400psi less on max pressure than the creed line, but close enough. 250savage is...

    Gaps in your caliber battery

    not just a cartridge gap, but a complete caliber gap for many decades until the last 5 years. about 10 years ago i didn't have any 30cals as i only had 1 26cal and 2 22cals. between the 10 to year gap i added 1 24cal, multiple 26cals, 3 27cals and 1 33/338cal (whichever way you look at it)...

    Large Pistol Primers

    If magtec made their own primers for their ammo i never had any ignition problem. I've shot thousands of their pistol ammo and all went bang. Hopefully the primers are gtg!

    O.A.C.L.for 300 win mag

    i'm able to seat out to 3.750" which is further than it needs too be. i'm somewhere around 3.400-3.450". if you seat deeper, then pressure will go up. at the extra .035" length you should be able to get an extra .5-1gr of powder depending on which powder is used and how much more throat is left?

    O.A.C.L.for 300 win mag

    The 180e-tip is longer than other 180's and needed to be seated as such. If the throat let's you seat at different lengths, you can go with that? I only have the 180e-tips. Test lengths aren't set in stone, it only gives data based on that. I have a 243win thathas a short throat, so...

    Which cartridge do you like so much, you have multiple firearms for it?

    all but the 264wm is in an AR config. i might try a glfa, remove the 300wm or 7rm barrel and do a 264wm AR. for a grand what's there to lose! i've read some are problematic and some operate fine? a noreen in the 2nd low cost AR xlr frame cost wise to try as iirc you can get an upper...

    Which cartridge do you like so much, you have multiple firearms for it?

    Mine is more of a favorite caliber. Although 264wm is my favorite cartridge i have more combined 26cal firearms (12 iirc) of 6.5gren, 6.5creed, 260rem, 6.5prc and 264wm. 30cals are a very close 2nd.
