[QUOTE="jimsbriar, post: 836602, member: 50666"] Hi all, I have a brand new sako finnlight 6.5x55 that I am reloading for. I found a great load with the 130 gr. bergers that was extremely accurate, but to get that, the bullet contact inside the neck was less than half the diameter of the bullet. even though the load was extremely accurate, I was nervous that the bullet might be disassemble on me (i.e. bullet loosen from neck from poor contact surface). how much contact inside the neck is really needed? In light of this I started working loads with the berger recommended seating depth and all my loads are no where near as accurate and I am getting "blow back" around the cartridge. see pic. any idea what is causing this? poor pressure? headspace? I have no signs of pressure in the primer and the fired cartridge ejects easily the brass has been shot 2-3 times and only neck sized. current specs: hornady brass, fed 210 primer, range of 45 gr to 45.8 gr of RE-19, 130 gr. VLD [/QUOTE]
