Thanks that’s what I was thinking. Guess I’ll find out next season. Hopefully foot will be better to get out and test what I have loaded. Might have to buy some of those hammers.

It would just be for whitetail or hogs. I just heard complaints at stuff running much more than they were used to. I use my creedmoor for target shooting not hunting but I like to reload. The creedmoor to me is a 22-250 x6.5 improved. Never going to be a barn burner. I just thought a slightly...

Congrats on the hunt. I like my straps wrapped in bacon gives it some fat for extra taste. Also don’t stop moving although watching you on ultimate reloader and reading posts I don’t think you do. That the killer as you get older. Need to stretch and do some exercising to stay mobile.

I’ve always been more of a shooter than a hunter. The 6.5 creedmoor is a nice round. I’ve been more partial to the 6.5x55 since I like Milsurps. The creedmoor just seems to shoot well pretty easily. Any way a couple of guys have been shooting heavier bullets at least for the creedmoor like the...

Funny thing was that was kinda a guess. Thought the loads nosler listed were too short and wanted a load less than max off of the Hodgdon site plugged it into quick load and looked ok so I loaded them thinking I’d go back and add more powder later. Saw the groups and I said it shoots better than...

130 rdf work pretty good. I have 3 different guns be that shot them well with the same load. They were with aa4350. The 2 electronic groups are in millimeters so 16 (.63”)and 21.8(.86”). The good groups were younger guys and the .86 was me. Getting old and already fat so my heartbeat will move...

Yes tomorrow I will load some up. Not to worried about the actual load and velocity but about the ogive length. Like was stated with Tom .001-.003” is acceptable to me for oal. I’ll shoot them and if it’s a group I can go from there. If not I will probably redo the crown as I’ve tried a lot of...

Yea moved, spun, seated to get lowest reading. Been there done that. But not saying it not possible. Got about 20% longer or shorter than .504 to .506. Checked my 6.5 creedmoor I had loaded that shot .3 to .7 inches at 100 in 3 different guns that had no more than .002” Difference to ogive...

Sorry didn’t realize you ask about the bullets

Just bought some 150 ballistic tips gonna measure them and load some of those up. It’s the only 7mm I had and bought the bullets during Covid since that was what was available but I’ll try the new bullets but still want to know from someone whose been using comparators if that was normal or if...

No that’s the base of the bullets to ogive. The diameter is the same as is the bullet length within reason just a difference to the ogive which seems like it would make it fly much different. I have been loading for a long time but this gun has kicked my butt. Usually when it’s the gun the...

This is the average to low. The largest was .511

I have a t/c contender carbine barrel in 7mm tcu. I’ve not gotten it to shoot well. Finally have headspace and ogive comparators and the 7mm bullets I bought are ppu. When I started checking loaded rounds I found the only real differences to be base to give but oal was in .001 to .003...

If the distance from the head of the case to the top of the belt is the same (case head space distance) then that wouldn’t be the problem I don’t think. If the extractor groove is not large enough and the extractor can not settle into the groove that may be hanging your bolt up. I’m not really...

Brass may be hard and spring back after sizing. May need to be annealed.

Nothing better than making a deal and keeping it with industrious kids to teach them the value of someone’s word
