What’s your 150 load with Sta-ball and COAL?

I worked up to 48.5 grns with the 150 Fusion @2.85 COL, just to ballpark it, but I'm not done tinkering yet.

Here is the GRT output for 150 ELDX with 48.5 grns of SB 6.5 in a 20" barrel.
Pmax of 65,574
2703 MV



Same projection swapping for 46.2 of Big Game
Pmax of 69,201
2781 MV

Yes, I wasn't going to get into that. Some individuals never check their throat depth as to when their bullet actually touches the lands. If they just seat their bullets long, when chambered the bullet gets shoved into the case causing a pressure increase. And they don't know why??

In my experience with Tikkas, most of the time a hand loader is constrained by magazine length, which is much shorter than distance to the lands.

I swapped the short action bolt stop on our 7mm-08s for long action and I can seat at the lands.

Roger that and I did the same for my 7-08 and 25-284.
