    Starting Seating Depth ?'s

    Thanks Gentlemen this gives me something to work with . It too has been my experience that the Hornady bullets are too soft for larger game & sometimes iffy on large hogs & bear at less than ideal angles . OK for boiler room or neck shot but not for a shoulder shot . Generally do OK on deer .

    Starting Seating Depth ?'s

    Generally speaking it's been my experience that cup & core like to be seated out if possible . Monometals like more of a jump IIRC Barnes states start with .050 off . Where in this scheme of things do the NAB & NPT fall ? I've read that some treat them as a cup & core & that some have found...

    Suitable powders for 6.5X55 & 30/06 ?

    The old classic 30/06 of 52.0grs IMR 4064 w/ a 150gr bullet is like the classic 57.5grs IMR 4350 w/ a 165gr bullet . Both are good loads but not every gun likes them . My 1903 Springfield likes both but my Rem 700 don't like either . Figure guns are like people they'll tell you what they want ...

    Suitable powders for 6.5X55 & 30/06 ?

    Most of the above are slower than 4350 . I've used 4350 & RL19 in 30/06 before & never had any luck with it in the 6.5 . MRP & RL22 have been the powders for 6.5 that I reach for first . I've been looking at the velocities & accuracy in the data for the ones above . I've been looking at a bunch...
