[QUOTE="Russ Hatch, post: 291138, member: 12444"] J. E. Thanks for the comments. I think that the fps is low too, at least it is low compared to the reloading manuals. Not sure if the CED is reading low or not. I'm going to try a differnt chrono and compare. I'm shooting the same barrel length as was used in the manual, in fact I'm shooting the same model rifle and I'm about 130 fps low. I tried the max load listed and got a sticky bolt on the first round so I pulled those loads down real quick. Rugers are famous for long thoats in 7x57 and I have the bullets as far out as I can get them and still work through the magazine. But you got me to thinking that I left the seating die set for the 175 grain round noses that I was loading. I'll try playing with the seating depth and measure these bullets to the lands. Thanks.
