So I have a T/C Dimension.... Finally got the 6.5 C barrel.
using 2 different methods, my coal seems to be only ~2.600" instead of the saami spec'd 2.825"
with 130 gr Accubonds...
with my hornady oal gauge i get to the lands ~2.596" consistently.
with a 1x fired partially neck sized empty case, with the bullet barely seated, and me jamming it in there and closing the bolt; it comes out 2.604".
I have emailed TC about this, as i get a pretty compressed load even using a mild load of RL 16 and Varget. I want to be able to seat these bullets out close to the spec but not have to jam it to the lands.
anyone else run into a similar situation? am i missing something that i am screwing up?
to clear this up, my measured COALs is from cartridge base to bullet tip, not the ogive. Thanks Luke for needing that cleared up.
