Ive done Sierra 240 gr #8610 w/ W296, 21 and 22 gr. Ive crimped some but how much is enough or 'heavy' as the reloading manuals say??
I did get some nice looking cast w/ gaschecks from another shooter here on the net. They weighed about 265-267 gr, were very nicely made. Got 4-5" out of them. I used 19.5-296 on those and 'some' crimp.
I scrubbed the barrel good yesterday and have relieved stock pressure some more (very little more) since last range trip. I did note where the bolt release spring was riding/gouging the stock and removed a tad there??Have to get out again next week and try some f the non-gas checked the gentleman supplied me with. They weigh right at 250 gr. Im going to try some tite group or lilgun and roll the dice. But first Ill do some of the same loads Ive done before to see what has happened, if anything.Thanks
PS I was trying to foind some Noslers Partitions and finally realized they have been DCd.
