Raise the ram, screw the seating die down until it touches, lower the ram, screw it in a quarter of a turn more and lock it down.
Size a case and see what happens.
If you’ve already done this I apologize, I just didn’t see where you stated it.
A couple of nice 22 LR and a little lot testing goes a long way towards a rewarding range trip. No prep and you can stack the ammo pretty deep. 200-300 yard with a 22 is no joke.
This a new problem for me. For 26 years I worked a schedule where I had a couple days off during the week when my wife worked. I took my time for granted and would often load just in time to do something, I had the time. For a couple of months now I’ve been working weekdays and get home from...
In my experience a rifle will shoot good with any reasonable load if it’s built right. A smith who built a rifle for me told me step it up until I found pressure then back off half a grain and that’s the load. I thought he was crazy, until he was right. I’ve never had that experience with a...
According to your numbers my math says a type 1 will be jumping .020” at maximum mag length.
This is assuming the type two jumps .080” as you describe.
I guess I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.
It appears someone needs to read the entire thread. It doesn’t appear to be a stock T3 Lite and he should expect more than he is getting from what he has.
It’s faster than the 4831sc but I also believe it is the correct powder for 140 class bullets in the .260.
I do use it in the CTR .260 and am rather heavy handed with it at 2677 in a 20” barrel.
it can happen to any of them. I had a Proof prefit that was junky that they happily replaced and a Bartlein that the smith jacked up. After a new chamber and crown being cut the Bartlein may be the most accurate I’ve owned to date.
I would be looking at Varget but I don’t think you’ll get...
Since you have nobody to mentor you take the time to read through at least two reloading manuals. Then ask a lot of questions, good ones and dumb ones. Get it all out there.
This is a great little product. Easy install with the most basic mechanical aptitude. Obviously I haven’t put it in use yet, but I like it on the kitchen table. Shooting a match tomorrow, we will see if it makes a difference.
No interference with the throw lever or Tenabrex caps.
