So 56gr as a jumping off point should be safe. Can I safely do .5gr increments or should I still stay in the .2-.3 range? I dont have much experience reloading cartridges in 40gr+ range.

Exactly what I am gathering parts for as we speak...

56 should be safe for H1000 and a 180gr bullet at magazine length. I think I went up by 0.3gr increments.
Go slow and be careful as always.

I'm just starting to receive my brass and parts for my 6.5SS and 338SS switch barrel build. I'm wondering what people are using for case trimming?
I currently have an LE Wilson, and dont really want to throw money at a new Giraud trimmer, I just dont load in volume, so it really doesnt make sense for me. To use the LE Wilson, I will need to hold the case, is there a holder that works for the fired SS brass? Does the SAUM fired holder work?

6.5 SS, 338 Sherman, and 270 Sherman data added today.
Cody is still playing with the 128 Badlands and not quite at the point of having good news. He will continue to updated on his 270 Sherman thread and when he has better news/ more shooting time I will add the data.
Thanks guys!

FYI - 52gr of H4350 behind 180 ELDM worked well to fire-form 7SS brass

I'm not sure, but I ordered the SAUM LE Wilson case holder from Brownells. Will let you know when it gets here.
I sent fired cases into Wilson....week turn, not bad

Patriot Valley Arms spun up my barrel.
No idea what the reamer specs are but I think I got the longer version. Barely fits in stock ARC magazines (2.96 in center, 2.97 in corners). Not much space to push them out when the throat wears but the 155 Hammer Hunters have a much shorter COAL. A little more space in some modified magazines.
Jumping .02" to lands
180 ELDM load @ 2843fps
60.1gr H1000
FGM210M
ADG
26" Proof 1:8
Suppressed
Single digit ES
CHAMBER
Max BTO = 2.2290
Max COAL = 2.9625
BTO (less .02)= 2.2090
COAL 2.945
Not a speed demon but very consistent. Load from first pound had an ES 3-4fps
New pound of H1000 has ES of 7.
Learned to use one of the vertical spacers as a length spacer to get my Magnetospeed in the same spot on my suppressor. Too close to the muzzle of the suppressor, ES of same load was 73fps!!
At 567yds, they land on top of each other on steel. Haven't put on paper at distance yet but need to work more on recoil management. I consistently put 2 literally in one hole and one .5-1" away. Totally me.
Might try for 1 last trip to the range before heading to Alaska. Ran out of time to work up the 155 Hammer Hunters.
