I am looking to setup a thread for results of shooting 6.5mm Hornady AMAX / SST / VMAX / Interbonds at COAL different than those stated in Hornady's reloading book (latest edition).
Please post only for powders that are listed in the Hornady book and only the above listed projectiles. This will keep the thread manageable and focused. Thx.
List the chambering and action type you are shooting
List the barrel length and twist of your rig
List the various seating depths(COAL) you tried and group sizes they produced. NOTE - Be sure to specify if you are measuring the distance to the OGIVE or the TIP of the bullet.
List whether you crimp and if you have the data how far off the barrel lands the bullet is.
The objective is to attempt to determine for the .264 class of Hornady bullets if there is a sweet spot for seating depth pertaining to the rifling of the barrel. The book COAL is factored to be safe in the majority of barrels in use and thus the factory loads are generally accurate for most but we are seeking the uptmost accuracy and consistency in this thread.
Thanks in advance-
BB
