[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1885857, member: 75397"] Ok after all this great knowledge here, I’m finally at a point I’m going to try not SS pin tumbling. I also got the more proper neck turning cutter to help with the donut issues because the cutter that comes with the tool was a 55* and it was hard to get the donut, hopefully I’m not going too far and blow the necks off!! But anyway I have found this thread and a bunch of others really helpful with things on load development. I have since then found great loads with 2 powders so far. The first is 55.4gr re26 cci200 with the 147eldm loaded to 2.264cbto with an average velocity of 3031, 2) is 54.7gr re26 with fed210m with the 147eldm loaded to the same 2.264cbto with an average velocity of 3015, this one shot GREAT! And with changing primers to the fed210m I was able to drop the charge weight down and save on powder and slow the bullet down a bit as here is where I started to see the eldms blow up on me. 3) 53.4gr re23 with cci200 with the 147eldm seated at the same 2.264cbto! This one also shot well and has proven to be very accurate out to almost 1,100yrds, 1,083 to be exact. [ATTACH]189595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]189596[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]189597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]189598[/ATTACH] Bottom two was 2 days ago and I messed up and pulled the very last shot! I really need to “true” or get these bullets BC figured out because I’m aiming in the center and hitting high about 11-1/2” to 11-3/4” high. What is a good way to figure that out? Also probably switch to the Berger 156 because the eldms are blowing up here and there, might get some Cutting Edge bullets too, thinking of their 125 Maximus bullets since they’re fairly affordable. Or would the Barnes 127lrx be pretty good? What I’m hunting is whitetail deer. Probably will be doing load development on the new Federal 130 Terminal Ascent too soon. [/QUOTE]
