Long bullets issue...

[bobm]

I am in the middle of loading those Hornady .264 160 gr. RN I bought from the classifieds here a few days ago. The Redding set seating stem was obviously not intended for their use. I have to use the seating stem from the .308 Win. set each time I load this bullet. No big deal, I only have 300 of them, they will be gone by spring anyway. Norma Swede cases, 8x fired and just trimmed, IMR4064.

How do they shoot?

I have not shot this bullet before in the Swede, only spitzers. I expect very good as that gun loves every recipe I have fed it. I plan on giving my 200 and 300 meter gongs a workout with them this coming week. The rifle was long throated as new from arsenal. The bore was minty when I bought it as shown for $200. six years ago. Has 2250 shots by me with even longer throat now.
