Hello Gents,
I am reloading a 6,5x57R (Rimmed) caliber using NOSLER 120 grs. Ballistic Tip (awaiting for the AccuBond ) and I would like to know what head space I should be using, to get an accurate and safe cartridge.
I am using a K95 Blaser single shot, which has a 8" rate of twist and very long free boring and, for this reason, I decided to move form the 100 grs. Ballistic Tip to the 120, since I think the lighter bullet, due to the mentioned long FB, can not touch the rifling before completely leaving the case, thus not giving the accuracy I am looking for.
I do not have this problem with the 120 grs., being a much longer bullet.
Thank you in advance for your precious advices.
Regards
