I got my dies last week and with Thanksgiving travel I only had a little time Sunday to work on loads.
Once my dies were setup I took 3 cases to run through load development, and continued reloading for my torture test.
They're at 8 reloads now without annealing and going strong

I've only tried 3 powder so far, H1000, 4831SC, and N555.
I'm just using standard large rifle primers (Fed 210).

Here's where I'm at so far with 115 Bergers:
54 grains H1000- 3012 fps with an SD of 12, cloverleaf 5 shot group at 100, slight bolt lift no ejector marks.

51 Grains N555- 2995 SD 5.8
Photo of 6 shot group, no pressure signs.

Awesome! Thank you! I need another project like a hole in my head but I’ve got a barrel, brass and an extra stock to start :)

And a wheelbarrow full of H-1000 in the cabinet 🤪
Nice!
Manson got my 25 SAS reamer to me in like 3 weeks, I think it was because they were tooled up already since it's the same dimensions as the 6 that they'd made.

McGowen just called me this afternoon to clarify a few details before chambing, should get it in two weeks!
Nice, I did pretty much the reverse of what you did with yours. Started with the 25 and now I'm looking at doing a 6mm version.

Would be pretty cool to get a reamer back as fast as you did.
