Should be a close fit.
i wouldn't hesitate copying the same load for the 178 HPBT. Just verify over chrono
keep everything the same (jump, neck tension, etc)
ive got a SAC defiance deviant OEM action with the guardian magwell cut (to accept AW mags) on a jae allen.
wondering what other mags are out there that I can use that'll offer longer COAL
Just wanted to update this thread.
got the modified sear. As you can see from photos (maybe) the modified sear sits up higher near the rear where the cocking piece would interact with,offering more real estate.
Trigger is back to working like a charm and no issues.
Big thanks to chris and the...
No down zero, YOURE not the one understanding how ES AND SD correlate with each other. You didn't Even read my earlier post.
his sample shot size is 40 rounds.
Out of those 40, 8 fall out of a 20 +\- FPS from his average velocity.
I already said he's found a good node and if he wants to leave...
Proper full length sizing isn't mainly for accuracy it's to prevent premature case failure.
You want to size as little as possible so you're not stressing the case to the point of failure.
Its different for many die/press combinations but the general "have die touch the shell holder then...
You don't have to use RL16, RL 17 is fine also.
Just like using H4350 , 4451 or other powders.
any of these powders will work for you if tuned properly
When you body size or Fl size a case , you will eventually bump the shoulder.
The shoulder is where the point where the case mouth slopes down and widens to the diameter of the body (hence shoulder).
You start sizing the shoulder when you screw the FL die to the point where the case...
It's not the bullet weight or it being seconds. but it seems like you've made up your mind.
youre changing a ton of variables so you need to start over from scratch
"I've never tried bumping the shoulder...."
stop.
Get a 40 s&w case and use that as a poor mans case comparator
or
order Hornady case comparators.
stop sizing anything until you get one or the other.
If you have any just fired cases save them. You need to know how much you're sizing...
Down zero,
ES is just as important as SD. He has a wide ES yet a 9 for an SD. Definitely something that can be fixed. If his ES was lower (and frequencies) then I'd have said drive on you're fine. Especially with 40 recorded Shots.
go look at his recorded individual shots and see why that...
Haha ... I'm pretty sure it's the lack of neck turning and no expander ball.
so not to steal this thread but there's another one where we were discussing neck turning..
THIS.. is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. If you neck turn then you don't need to fuck with an expander balls IF...
