GAP built 260 on a Surgeon action with a 26" Bartlein barrel.
I am new to reloading based on Ogive measurements.
Need some thoughts. I attempted to get a measurement with a Sinclair tool. The measurement I came up with is 2.167" BTO.
Does that measurement appear within what may be expected? Not a number that everyone says, an error has been made.
Load:
RL17 41.5 grains
Berger Hybrid 140
BTO 2.222"
I made an error somewhere along the way and loaded some rounds to 2.222" BTO. These rounds shot amazing. Less than an inch at 400 yards. There were however extractor marks indicating pressure. I suspect due to the the rounds being jammed. Sound right?
Does a load jammed .055" even sound plausible?
The reason for all the questions is I have no idea/confidence if my original measurement of 2.167 BTO is accurate.
Thought?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
