Actually this is perfect, my 260 coming in will have 24 inch Krieger, barreled by WmRoscoe. Since waiting for the seller to send me the rifle I prepared different brass from 7-08, and from different 308 brass including the small primer ones, all necked turned prior to necking down. <span style="font-weight: bold">With the intent to do the final neck wall turning once fire formed in the chamber.</span>
Got the powder and 130 VLDs for start. For hunting, my goal is to stretch the 130 as close as I can to the 3K mark, looks like yours is close to it.
Thanks for sharing. Incidently, I have a few hundreds of once fired LC Match '72 that I may play with as well. </div></div>
I started getting pressure signs just above 3000fps, IIRC. The load I settled on gave the best SD and met my goal of 2900.
Sounds like a plan, just be sure, if you're planning to neck turn again after fireforming, that the necks of your loaded rounds have room to expand and release the bullets on your fireforming loads. William should be able to tell you your neck diameter. I didn't have a 6.5 mandrel for my neck turner, so I ended up fiddling with it until I could neck turn them first, then size them down and end up with the neck thickness I wanted. I've had no problem with it so far, but I do have a bunch of Remington 7-08 and Lapua .243 brass that I'll get around to using some time.
