Very nice. That shows great promise. Is your reamer a .104" fb with a .270" neck or .269" nk? I appreciate all of your info, Thank you sir.

A .269 neck .104 freebore I will keep you posted as I progressed.

What do you turn your necks to?

What do you turn your necks to?

I turned the necks to .266 an the loaded round comes out to .2665

How do you “fix” it?

Run um through a die with an expander ball, that will stretch the out real quick

The four pieces of brass that I started playing with yesterday, this evening I fouled the barrel with four more new cases and stepped over to a clean Target and shot a three-shot group I dropped back to 32.7 grains of reloader 15.
P.S. that is 6 firings on that 4 pieces of brass.

Is this velocity high, low or where you want to be? Bullet weight? 100 yd target? Looks good from here!

Accuracy is more important than velocities to me I think that's a good node to be that's at 300 yd target.

Very nice!

looking good! primer pockets are holding up so far.
got my 50 ordered for testing.

Nice shooting! I’ve been using being left handed as an excuse. Mebbe I should stop. What bullets were you using?

Is that a Lapua specked reamer? Or custom?

It's a .269 neck .104 freebore and .243.8 freebore diameter.

Yes sir there fine after 6 firings on the four pieces of brass I'm using as a guinea pig.

 

[HTSmith]

Stan I hate to keep wearing you out, but...how do these loads compare to what you you were using for the same bullets in blown out Lapua brass? More or less powder? Thanks much.

s compare to what you you were using for the same bullets in blown out Lapua brass? More or less powder? Thanks much.

Let's just say that you're using 33.0 grains of varget to achieve same velocities in lapua this Peterson will be at least 6 tenths less powder charge about 32.4 grains.

 

[HTSmith]

Just what I needed. Makes sense cause the Petersons are heavier for sure. Thanks
