Long story short, sold all my 7mm WSM handloading components with the intentions of selling off my custom barrel. Well, things did not go as planned. I was given over 400 rounds of varying factory ammo with having at least 3 boxes of each.
Unfortunately, I am unable to buy any new components due obviously the shortages and I will not participate in the price gouging that is going on.
My barrel is loonnngggg throated for 180 VLDs. I can only assume the jump for these factory 165 bullets will be about a tenth of mile, kidding, 2/10". Can't find my old notes to compare previous COAL Regardless, I don't want to shoot this ammo as is.
Plans are to pull the bullets from each factory loading and cull the bullets and powder separately. Most of the ammo is from the same mfg, so the powder will most likely be the same, but not willing to take the chance or should I?
Neck the brass and start the LD process with seating the bullets further out and using same the powder. I will use Quickloads for my starting charge as there will be definitely more case capacity available.
Am I missing something?
