They can be used to practice with the rifle. Tombac was used to replace copper alloys on military bullets jacket. You can identify the steel if bullets are attracted to a magnet. As they are plated friction is OK. If the barrel is brand new they are good to smooth the rifling as someone mentioned :)

Just taking care of velocities looks like you have a velocity node on the first 2 charges with both primers 3693 fps 3699 fps with one and 3647 fps 3659 fps with another if you are happy with this velocities test them more. Good luck

Sorry but I don't have any good news to you. I had exactly the same rifle and calibre. To improve groupings tried many things. Reloaded less pressure ammo with Rem PSP 100gr Corelokt, PSP 80grain, Hornady BTSP Interlock 100grain, with and without moly, different lengths, powders, cases and...

Most of my rifles are Rem 700 type and Tikka. I prefer light triggers.use Timneys and Jewell but my main concern is carrying a round in the chamber and walk around with the rifle shouldered and lift the bolt unintentionally while carrying it. 3 position safeties avoid that but find that type of...

Just check when the reticle magnification is true on a target placed a known distance away. Place a target exactly 100m away from scope. Mark on target a space of 30 centimetres and if your reticle is in milrad that should fit 3 milrad on your scope reticle. If reticle is in MOA mark a space 29...

If you have trouble unscrewing a suppressor spray generously with some carbon cleaner and deepfreeze the can for a few hours. Should work fine. Apply some moly grease on threads to avoid this.
