I last check my throat at 82 shots, so I checked the other day at 432; looks like I burned away .100" in the last 350 rounds. I figured it was time to move the bullet out and start over. I'm now at 4.045" OAL to the lands in a 7 STW and 195's, which gets the boat tail jct above the neck/shoulder. I backed off the lands by .020" and loaded one each from 77 to 83gr of N570 and shot at 100. Impacts went from right to left and I think I'll load up 3 ea from 80-82 and see if it repeats. I didn't see any pressure or have a heavy bolt.

Loaded thirty 06 cases last night cuz bought a rail for the 110 Savage and changing the scope so needed ammo to sight in. Used 50 grains of W748 cuz I have a lot and saving the IMR 4350 for hunting ammo. I used federal 150 grain pull down bullets.

I covered my previously painted reloading bench top with a fresh sheet of Formica. Visibility is much better and it's easier to clean. Only cost about $100 and an afternoon's worth of time. 👍
