The class was PACKED with information! There is no way I’m remembering it all and will be taking the 5 day class next year along with refreshing up when the online class comes out. Ryan and Jake were great with questions and help during shooting but Form was our main coach. He is a wealth of...
So do you just true your rifle then make both ballistic apps give you the same output?
Do you rely on the Binos atmospheric adjustments for the range output solution or only use them for ranging and then use hard data for the the solution?
I don’t have the sac dies, I do use a sac bushing in a Redding die, they help with the doughnut I think. I build custom tapered bushings for doing the initial neck down that helps with doughnuts also. If I did it over again and now that sac has their setup I would probably go that route.
No the tip doesn’t make any contact in mine, not even the 134 eldm
In a Hornady micrometer seating die with their match bullet stem and 134 eldm the bullet tip hits the end on that one
Mine is a tikka action, 22” hart barrel. My load right now is 133 Berger with rl26 at 3240. Tried some 565 but hit pressure and slower than the 26, waiting on some 570 now and am going to test the 134 eldm and 133eh with it. I’m trying to be conservative on this one, not sure how many rounds...
They all need fire formed if you want a consistent load. The only difference really is buying a custom die for the improved case vs a factory bushing die.
My 25-7 runs great so far in a tikka. With a 18” my guess is you’re going to be around 3050 fps after it speeds up. With an improved Saum you will probably be close also. The saum coal will probably be around 3.020 and the prc is at 3.255 coal.
How come they don’t continue to speed up as the fire cracking gets further say at 600 rounds. Not saying you’re wrong or anything. I’ve just seen some barrels hit a mark then boom 50 more fps and it seems to stay
