I'm in the same boat except with 450 primers. Just waiting for my Dasher barrel. I got 2500 109 Hybrids so this shit better work lol. The plan is to start at 30.5gr Varget and go from there. A nice load in the 2820-2850 range and I'll be happy.

The first 45 bullets were out of one box of lot #1468 of Berger 220s. Then I ran out of bullets and had to open a new box of lot #1468 of Berger 220s. Nothing else changed. Same brass prep, same press setup, same time, same everything. Literally, all I did was get up, walk over to where all my bullets are, retrieve a new box of the same lot, and continued seating.

I contacted AMP to get their perspective and the first thing they said was, "measure the bullets."

Unfortunately, I had taken those last 45 bullets out to the hills the weekend before. Fortunately, if you want to call it that, one of those rounds had a bad primer. So, I pulled that one bullet and compared it to a few bullets out of the new box.

What I found:
- The OAL was essentially the same.
- The body of the bullet was ~.025" longer on the new-box bullets - measured by putting a comparator on both ends of the bullets.

Looking at the graph, you can see that the new-box bullets engaged around .025" earlier. That makes sense if the body is longer. You can also see that the slopes of the graphs are essentially the same. The reason the terminal forces on those bullets is higher is that there is more bearing area. In fact, if you just slid the orange plots to the right, they would match up.

EDIT: Morale of the story, measure your bullets every time you open a new box.

Apparently, when you refer to the "body of the bullet" you're referring the the Bearing Surface.

Several years ago now, I discovered this difference in bearing surfaces between lots with two different lots of 168 SMK's where there was a difference of .033". So I sorted through them and set aside 20 that were .033" longer than 20 of the shorter. Loaded all 40 up and shot them into 10 round groups and chronoed all the shots. As I thought there might be, the .033" longer bearing surface rounds had a very different average velocity and a very noticeable difference in POI at only 100 yds.

Like you, I discovered it's a good idea to sample measurement for every new lot/box of bullets as there can be significant differences. But I'll point out too that the difference in bearing surface length being quite small, like .010" or less, isn't really going to show up on target or in velocity due to all the other noise that's going on.

N540 is pretty good for heavy 223s. Give about an extra 25-50FPS over varget for the same pressure out of my 77TMK loads, accuracy was similar, tad worse than varget but SD wasn’t as good.
I was loading 25.0gr for a bolt gun load at 2.475in with the 77TMK. Lapua brass, CCI 450.
Apparently it reduces your throat/barrel life faster than N140 and Varget.

yep while 2 of my proofs (and a couple of my brother's) shoot very nice, a 3rd i couldn't get under moa with a variety of match and premium factory ammo. contacted proof and they swapped it out no problems.

Sorry to revamp an old thread. Do you know if a jp high pressure bolt head will fit in a Seekins sp-10 bolt carrier group? I ask because I am going to get a proof barrel and they headspace to jp bolts for my 6.5 creed. Thanks

st1650 · 2025-04-01T13:39:17-0400

7SAW with the 162 eldm and the 160 TMK. Most efficient case in the short action game. Especially when limited to the 2.80in coal.
And alpha brass is available

More Pics

This scope is used, but it very good condition. Glass is perfect and everything functions perfectly, just shows typical normal cosmetic wear from use. This has MRAD turrets w/ 5 mils per revolution. It includes the original bikini cover, paperwork, and microfiber — as well as a sunshade, which does show some wear around the edges.

After the War, Army Ordnance and Fort Benning wanted a smaller COL than M2 ball (.30-06), but with the same performance. So they shortened the case to something similar to 300 Savage and increased the chamber pressure, added a boat tail to retain energy resulting in the T65 and later 7.62x51.

If they had done the same thing with the .450” case head .276 Pedersen, we would have had something with a 2.400 to 2.600” COL, running higher pressure in the M14, FAL, G3, and AR-10.

I appreciate the feedback. I expect some change but some of the numbers just seemed all over the place.

I would like to be able to load an assortment of headstamps so they get close to the same velocity with a particular bullet but it just doesn't seem achieveable. Some brass gives tighter SDs, some is overworked and is disposable, some I have more of for when I need to load up for a match so I different uses for them.

I am trying to keep tabs on everything by recording velocities and putting them in a spreadsheet where I record the day's weather, powder/primer/bullet/case type and number of loadings.

I think the best you can do when mixing headstamps is to measure each case's cases volume/capacity (not weight) and that should be a close as you can get for consistent velocities between them. Keep in mind there are other issues going on, like differences in the thickness and the alloy composition of the brass that'll react differently to the expanding gases as well as sizing which will effect pressure/velocity. It's simply best to stick to one headstamp of the same lot at a time. Otherwise, it just get complicated.
