[QUOTE="Left_to_ Lobster, post: 1936030, member: 113291"] Sorry. Life’s been a little busy. Since I last posted here’s what I’ve done: - I pulled the bullets from the rounds in the aforementioned. I’m just not comfortable seating the bullets further due to pressure concerns. I’m new reloading and I don’t want to press my luck. - I took some brass and seated these soft points low enough to get the bolt to closed. I worked down from 2.750” COL. It came in at 2.695”. This was a tight bolt closed. I seated a Accubond at 2.750” and had a tight bolt closed. I don’t think these soft points are the ticket moving forward - Q: I still be jammed up against the lands? A little more on the rifle: -This has been my go to range toy for about 2 years. All of my brass from range days before I got into. I’ve been shooting it way before I got into reloading. I’ve never found the pill in a factory loading that was pretty accurate. < MOA at 100y. Additional questions: - what are some middle of the road round recommendations? I need to order so more Varget so I’d like to order something. I love taking it to the range and it would be a good meat stick for Michigan deer. [/QUOTE]
