[QUOTE="Sagedaddy, post: 809821, member: 68548"] That sure seems like a whole lotta velocity loss. I'm in California, unfortunately, and do all my load development in relatively mild conditions. But , obviously, hunting conditions can be anything but mild. A change in velocity of over 100 fps is a scary thought, considering all the time and energy we spend preparing for our hunts. It makes me think I might need to play with a different powder and primer combo. Will a magnum primer cause less velocity fluctuation in a 7 mag with reloader 22? So far I've stuck with the 210m cuz it's been a very reliable 1/2 moa producer with that load. I normally wouldn't sweat the velocity fluctuations under normal hunting distances but, as I mentioned earlier, this gun was built with a specific longrange application in mind. As far as the neck issue, I've taken all the measurements and I am definitely not shoving the bullet into the lands. I'm actually .030" off the lands. My rcbs dies for my .270 wsm feel much more positive when I cam the press over. Whereas my redding dies for my 7 mag just don't give as positive of a camming action/feel( if that makes any sense). The directions for the rcbs dies give specific instructions for camming over the press. The redding dies do not. I'm wondering if the redding dies were just not designed to do that?. [/QUOTE]
