Neck tension with heavy bullets


Recommended Posts

Can I ask you guys what sort of neck tension you're running with heavier bullets in .308 (other larger calibre observations welcomed too...)

 

I use a .30 cal 215gr Berger Hybrid for Match Rifle and have been sizing cases with a bushing which gives .003" hold. This is used in conjunction with a 0.030" jump to the rifling. The Berger sits on top of a hefty amount of RS60 in a Palma case.

 

What do you find is giving good results?

I've been shooting warm loads with Nosler 190 Custom Competitions. I use an RCBS Small Base Full Length Sizer, trim to a uniform length, and after seating, use a Lee Factory Crimp Die to apply a somewhat stiff crimp. I get very small ES and SD. Accuracy is better than I can hold from my Ruger Precision. A raggedy hole at 200 yards,~Andrew
