I am getting horizontal lines from the rifling. I was wondering the same thing myself. The factory 160 nosler partitions I have are seated .040 thou under the Sammi spec COAL with a CBTO measurement around 2.445 (inconsistent seating depths) which is .041 thou into my lands. I feel like I should...
I have groups loaded at CBTO 2.775(COAL is around 3.490 if I remember right) 2.770, 2.665 and the bolt closes fine. This is where I felt like the marks started to not look as bad. I have a dummy round at 3.560 COAL from when I was measuring my mag (for feeding) and the bolt closes fine but still...
Yeah it is really weird and I'm going to call Christensen to talk to them about it. I used the same tools to get my lands measurement which was 2.704 CBTO without applying any pressure to the rod. I went .020 thou off lands and had marks. I seated a bullet as deep as 2.640 CBTO and still had...
Awesome thank you. I'm also curious if you have any rifling marks on the bullets? No matter how deep I seat my bullets it still has rifling marks on it. I bought 3 boxes of factory 160 grain nosler partition and they all have them as well. I have a 300 win mag mesa and didn't have any issues...
