  2. 6.5CM Berger 144 LRHT: Help me find the right seating depth

    Hi I worked up a load for my 6.5CM rifle Confirmed the powder charge @ 41.3grs H4350 @CBTO= 2.119 which is 20thou off the lands from the initial measurement. I ran the seating depth test from 2.121 with 3 thou increase in seating depth down to 2.0520 the combination shoots great as you see I...

  3. 300PRC - Factory 212gr ELD-X Loaded in the lands?

    Picked up a Bergara premiere a while ago in 300 PRC and finally found some bullets to load! The rifle shoots so well with the Hornady ELD-X I figured I would do my best despite components to try and replicate the load as best I could. Using a comparator to find the jam I did the 220gr bullet...

  4. 190 A-tips, seating depth

    Has anybody had any success with the 190 A-tips in a standard 284 Win? I have tested them with N555 and RE16 0.000 to 0.015 off the lands and they have shot ok, but not great. Has anybody tested them further off or with other powders?

  5. QUICKLOAD Seating Depth

    I finally was able to buy a copy of QUICKLoad to use for an experimental bullet design I have been working on, but they don't exactly describe what they refer to as the seating depth. What exactly is the seating depth and where is it measured from? My bullet is 0.938in long including it's...

    Starting Load When Freebore is Excessive

    I have a Browning 1885 High-Wall in .270 Win. I bought this rifle used & it is new to me. I've started my load development by determining the "touch point" of a 130 gr Speer SP, my favorite hunting bullet in 270 Win. I'll get a BTO measurement from this cartridge. The good thing about falling...

  7. Loading 9mm for CZ P09

    I'm new to reloading for pistols. I am reloading 9mm for my CZ P09 for uspsa shooting. The pistol shoots any factory ammo I have put through it from 1.111 to 1.160 COL. I am working up a load for 124 gr. square nosed plated Berrys bullets. I can fit the resized brass fine into the barrel...

  8. V-Max and Lee die problem

    I'm using a Lee Dead Length Seater out of the Lee Deluxe set of 270Win dies. I've loaded over 200 rounds of Sierra Match 135s and Berger VLDs. My die will not seat the V-Max deep enough, not even close to the cannalure and to set them where I need in relation to the lands, I was hoping towards...

    Help from the 6mmPPC guys!

    I am using the Hornady OAL gauge to check seating depths of my 6PPC, when I run the bullet into the lands there is probably .005 of bullet in the case, how deep do you seat and and is this normal? I am using some really old 6mm Metzger bullets. (yes, I got them from James Messer, God rest his...

  10. Two Bullet Seating Scenarios - Which Is More Accurate?

    Scenario One. One pushes the bullet into the case neck, making the seating depth adjustment on a micrometer scale which stops the seating stem from downward travel. This would be on a seating die like a Wilson or a Sinclair/Wilson. Scenario Two. One pushes the case and bullet up into a seating...

  11. Using The Bob Green Bullet Comparator

    The Bob Green Bullet Comparator (BGC) has quickly become indispensable in my handloading process. This device allows one to compare bullets from where the measuring stem in the tool makes contact near the tip of the bullet to the point on the ogive that contacts the same diameter as the lands of...

  12. Where should the seating die contact the bullet

    For years we've all been taking "base to ogive" measurements. Seating bullets ti ogive measurements instead of COAL. My factory seating dies all contact the bullet at about %50 of diameter, maybe less. Where should it contact? What is the optimal contact location? I don't mean where does it...

  13. High pressure signs in a 270

    Good afternoon, I have a Tikka T3 chambered in 270 that I use primarily for hunting, and have endeavored to make it as accurate as possible. In this process, I have found a load that seems to perform the best in the gun: 50.5 grains of IMR 4350 paired with a Nosler Accubond 140 grain bullet and...
