gona do some 75gr sierra hollow points

[Evan03]

heres what i did. loaded dumby rd useing the 75 sierra bumped the bullet into the case then used the bolt to push the bullet the rest of the way in the case.

but the bullet in the press and screwd the seater die down till it contacted the sierra. wich was 7/8 of turn from being on the seater dies stop. lowerd the bullet and screwd the die down the rest of the way.

hmmmmmm i thought i was on the lands closer than that. i will be now. then i got to think maybe the shape makes these sierras sit closer to the lands than my 100yds.

at this point i thought you were right.

but nothing was proved yet. just had do do dumbly 100gr nos bt to find out closed bullet in the chamber stuck it in the press and screwd the die down on it. it to was 7/8 of turn from being to the dies setting so they are the same.

also did this with a 100gr nos partitoin and 75vmax all the same.

i did find that i want to be longer and will adjust to be on the lands or just barely off. its no off the lands by about guessn an 1/8.

just set my 3006 dies up and ive got 165 nos bts kissing the lands. closed a bullet in the chamber then bumped the die back the little bit just so it would close easily

im off to run a few powder charges in the 06 and will test tommorw.

57grs of h4350 is the magic load from what ive heard and i will work up to it from about 2 grains lower. those 165 bts are long with a very good bc im hopeing for varmit acuracy from this rifle.

so guess the 25 will stay as is for now ive got around 30rds of hunting loads worked up ounce these are widdled down to about 10rds ill work up some loads useing h4350 in it aswell.

im realy digging this reloading.
