I'm wondering if I will be able to get any kind of accuracy with an aerodynamic bullet. There are several regular spitzers that run anywhere in the. Hornady makes a round nose, but the BC is only like. Makes me appreciate the Win 70 30-06 that will fit a 180 Ballistic Tip/Accubond perfectly.Įdited by jason miller - December/13/2011 at 16:38

Although the 162 A-Max I was hoping to use in the 7mm will need to be seated quite a ways back from the lands to have a full grip between the cartridge neck and bullet shank. of this bullet.ĭoes anyone else have any suggestions on what to do with such a long throated rifle? The Savage 7mm RM I have is pretty long-throated too, but 160 Partitions look like they should work out just fine. I was hoping to get to the point where the rifle could put 5 rounds into at least 2" or less, to take advantage of the high B.C. I think a 225 Accubond would be a great bullet for this cartridge, but the Federal loadings with that bullet have never shot better than about 1.75" for 3 shots at 100 with the norm being more like 3-4 inches for 5 shots. So does anyone have any suggestions? Seat them even a little deeper? Crimp them? Both? What kind of die do I need to order for crimping? Does a regular bullet seating die have that capability? Does this rifle have much chance of shooting these bullets worth a darn? 338 WM, recoil will probably present a problem with bullets barely fitting in the magazine. They stayed at 3.480 after being fed out of the magazine though, so I know that they will fit all the way down in the magazine without pushing on the bullets too much. This also looks to be very close to where they need to be so that the entire neck is holding onto bullet shank. At 3.480, they just barely clear the front edge of the magazine. The problem is that they don't fit in the magazine at that length. 015-.030, I pushed them into the cases so that they were all 3.500- the furthest from the lands that is recommended.

And since my handy Nosler loading manual says to try backing off. I take that as enough consistency to get me close. I did this on four separate bullets/cases, and they measured in at 3.532, 3.530, 3.530, and 3.529(super long throat). I tried to find my optimum seating depth by slightly flattening two sides of the neck on a once fired case to the point that it has a firm enough grasp on the bullet to keep it from slipping, and then starting a bullet in the case and chambering it. Being new to reloading, I have questions in regards to how deep I can seat some 225 grain Accubonds in my Savage.
