Question on reloading for 7PRC

[Bob Wright]

For fire forming new brass, I use whatever bullet I have that I don't mind spending downrange for this activity. Yes, that bullet is fine.

I'm kidding but thanks anyhow Bob. I've been behind a press for 35+ years thanks to my Dad. Might swap to 140 BT's soon for some velocity

That's the second time this week I didn't get the humor, lol. Is there a pill for this disease?

Not a pill but called booze

I'm about to jump off in some 168 ABLR's.
Tell me something about seating depth.
But don't tell me to get them close to touching. This throat is loooong.

It looks like you have plenty of bullet shank left to move that bullet out and still have adequate grip inside of the neck. That would get the shank out past the potential "donut" area too.

I usually start at .020-.030 when working up a load, these are hunting rounds, I've been down the road of being to close to the lands and having jammed the bullet enough that when I pulled it out, powder was everywhere. Here's an article I found informative of how much bullet needs to be in the neck.https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2007/04/radical-wolf-pup-case-for-hunter-br/

https://bulletin.accurateshooter.co...al-short-necked-wolfpup-for-hunter-benchrest/, this one explains it better I think

Might have to ream an LE Wilson seater blank. I have one.
regular seating dies have given me mixed results over the years on runout when I get "too far" out in the neck.
need that Zero press…need need want want spend spend

And they say houses are money pits

I don't mind spending money on "me" stuff near as much though.
Since Me is the only one generating it!

Good luck hitting 3000fps with a 175 using hornady brass and not trashing it.
I tried 66gr of h1000 which was max in my rifle and it was only 2900.

Do you use ADG Brass? Looking for some reloading data without working my way up and wasting powder.

I've been running them in my STW right at .060" off, .050" was good too, but I ran out of room. Mine are loaded up right at mag length with about .010" clearance. They actually work better with some jump.

Cheers.

I'm loading 175 gr ELDX, .020 off the lands, using V N560. Starting at 60 grains, gonna chrono the load and work up. Was hoping someone had a good safe load worked up.
