I've got the foaming wipeout (for shotguns). Is this the sameTry using the Tactical Wipe Out and it will keep you from having to clean carbon out again.

That's what I thought when I was loading them. But, I double checked the length in the book and the number seemed reasonable given my experience with the 6.5.Anybody ever think that the person doing the numbers had dyslexia and the numbers are bass ackwards? Call Hornady and see if it's a misprint. You can see there is very little of the bearing surface in the case at the book length.
I did. Thought I mentioned that in one of my post. The CBTO delta is ~ .014" less in the Berger.Those Berger's may be just off the Carbon build up also and is why they're chambering so much better. The ogive is probably set back a little further. You should measure the ogive variance between the Hornady and the Berger loaded rounds.
Your bet was correct BTW. I did get around to measuring them (with 3 different caliber)I think there are 2 things going on here. First of all, if you check the diameter of the Berger bullets, I bet you find the are .0005" smaller. So the Hornady are probably. 243 and the Berger are probably. 2425. Secondly, I will almost guarantee you have carbon build-up in the throat. It may not actually be a ring yet, but I bet if you soak the throat area with carbon remover and brush it well, use stiff nylon not bronze brush, you will see a lot of carbon come out and your bullets will fit better in the chamber.
No here is the product. If you use it regularly to clean your rifle you won't have a carbon problem to solve latter. https://sharpshootr.com/tactical-advantage/I've got the foaming wipeout (for shotguns). Is this the same
Seems very similar to the wipeout that I have. This stuff looks to be a more concentrated formula based on the article I read. Must be strong if you can dilute it by 30-50% and it dissolves carbon.No here is the product.

Berger. .2425
Hornady. .2430
still working on this dammed carbon ring. (Way easier on the gas guns)
Well thats good to hear. I recently switched from Hornady to Berger in my 6.5 PRC, and started seeing more and more carbon in the throat area. Turns out that the 6.5 bullets are also .0005" smaller on the Berger. I'm sure there is a reason, but I don't know what it is.Your bet was correct BTW.

Thankx LB. might as well. Everything else isn't working. I'm just dumbfounded by this. Less then 150 pills down range.If you want to take out the carbon ring get some CLR, $10 at canadian tire will get you a lifetime supply. It will take care of carbon better than all the gun specific cleaners.
CLR is the best that ive found for removing stubborn hard carbon. I just used it today to clean a muzzle brake that you couldnt chip the carbon with a chisel.If you want to take out the carbon ring get some CLR, $10 at canadian tire will get you a lifetime supply.
