I wouldn't be scared of hurting anything by throating it out if done properly. We've shot all variants of factory Hornady in +.050 and +.100 throat 6 arc chambers and they have all shot very well, just as they have with the saami throat.
Thank you.
That’s kind of what I was thinking. That said the 105s seem like they’re going to work at 2.20” COAL. Funny , they mirror my 77gr Mk12 DOPE to 600 yards to within .25 MOA, at least so far. That is really convenient from a holds under pressure situation and they’re $.12 - $.24 less per bullet than anything else in the 80-107 weight. If I end up pushing out past maybe 750 yards I might need some more space for powder though.
I’m going to try 105s BTHP again, 105 Aeromatch, 95 SMKs and 80 ELD-VTs Sunday. If I can get one that feeds 100% reliably I’m going to run with it the 18th and take my chances.
Accuracy is there . Issue is I’m trying to figure out if it’s short stroking every few rounds or if it’s fast bolt speed. Ejection pattern shows low gas with 18 clicks on superlative arms. Cases land at 5 o’clock but fired cases are filthy and it’s missing the case head and grabbing the case half way up the body about every 3-4 rounds. Could also be these Norma cases, as I’m having to FL size virgin cases to get them to load.
The joys of sorting a new~ish rifle with no time to do it…..
