I use the Area419, but with big kernels like N570 I just pour slowly vs dumping into the funnel.

Precision HardCore funnelsTo the N570 users, what are you guys using for funnels? Currently run a Area 419 funnel kit and it bridges really badly. Thinking of going with a SAC Modular Funnel kit since I have the headspace gauge and inserts already for them.
Thats what I was using on my 6.5 before getting the Area 419 kit.Precision HardCore funnels
Got all their funnels, and no issues.Thats what I was using on my 6.5 before getting the Area 419 kit.

Ordered the SAC funnel. Hopefully it works.
Only happened twice. Hence why I am looking for a better solution to this. Nothing more frustrating when your tools don't work and have to buy new tools to a problem that was unknown.Lol, or time for cleaning up the mess after you've lifted the funnel off a case where it didn't pour for the 5th time.

Unless you are trickling it in slowly, I don't see how it's possible. Even others are reporting the same issue if you just dump the charge in.I've been using the Area 419 stackable drop tubes and funnel with N570 and have had zero issues.
100% trueFast dump: 1 second, N570 usually bunches up, then takes 5-10 seconds of tapping to get it all down the tube
Slow dump: 2-3 seconds slower pour. Done.
That's what I'm thinking about switching to. I use cci 450s in 5.56 and the vertical is really good out to 1000 yards. I'm thinking if that tiny cartridge is okay with it, a big one should be too. If I can get some cci250s maybe I'll test them against my 215ms and post it here.I use CCI 250s....

Rebellions - Curious to hear what you encountered with Norma brass as I have fired 100 rounds of factory ammo which used Norma cases w/ 230 Berger bullets (2980 fps), I was going to reload those with 230 grain A-tips till I came across your comment. I already have a load developed with Lapua brass for the 230 grain A-tips (3065 fps). I would appreciate your thoughts - ChrisI know it’s tough but gotta be patient when it comes to powder (these days anyway). I waited for months and checking every day until I got lucky. My groups tightened up a bit with N570 after my Lapua brass was fire formed. Every once in a while I’ll charge a few with H1000 just to see and while they print nice groups I lose a lot in speed and see some REALLY flat primers. No pressure issues with 570. I can’t speak for everyone else but I’ll never use Norma brass with 570 ever again
Yea i find that federal 210's are great and actually give me lower sd/es. I will switch to magnums if its going to be really cold to ensure ignition.Anybody running regular non-match magnum primers in 300nm? I stopped using match primers in .308 and 5.56 without issues but I would hate to potentially sacrifice any consistency in 300nm due to the distance I shoot it.
I'll stick with magnums and probably switch my .308 over to them too (I think military primers are magnum). Then I can just focus on sourcing cci250/450 for my precision stuff. 250s for 300nm/.308 and 450s for 5.56. In a pinch I could even use .308 palma brass with 450s.Yea i find that federal 210's are great and actually give me lower sd/es.

Loaded up a handful at 76gr and the first three averaged 2924 fps (27” barrel). May back it down half a grain and put it on paper to see how I does100 rounds should be plenty to break in that big a cartridge. 75-77gr 7827SSC with the 208 should do the trick, be around 2800-2850fps I'd think.
i'd run 90.5 and call it a dayStarted to do some load testing with N570. Don't know if I want to go any higher, not really getting any pressure signs just yet, but I know it's getting close. This is 2 weekends of data. Need to play around with the seating depths next time out.

Nevermind, they are already out of stock.That's what I'm thinking about switching to. I use cci 450s in 5.56 and the vertical is really good out to 1000 yards.

That kind of goes hand in hand with the 1.35. You can get a 1.125 or 1.18 tenon in there.I guess it's probably also worth asking what you guys think of a 1.0625" tenon.
I'm waiting on a american rifle company CDG. I assumed since they are selling a .588" bolt face that it's good to go but part of me thinks this has to be a bit more beefy.
Yeah, but does the 1.0625 thread tenon make the 1.35 shank a moot point?That kind of goes hand in hand with the 1.35. You can get a 1.125 or 1.18 tenon in there.
I'd get an action with 1.1250 tenon threads and run 1.25 shank minimum.Yeah, but does the 1.0625 thread tenon make the 1.35 shank a moot point?
I'm just trying to figure out if there's any reason to beef this thing up more than normal.
That I don't know, someone with more gunsmithing knowledge will have to chime in.Yeah, but does the 1.0625 thread tenon make the 1.35 shank a moot point?

It's hard to know because individual barrels can vary greatly. I tend to not push my loads to max and I've had one 1.25" and one 1.35" barrel. The 28" 1.25" Bartlien was launching 230gr OTM's at 3050 FPS. The 1.35" 27" I haven't pushed, I got a load working with 220 Hybrids at 3,000 FPS and just left it there. If either one of those barrels happened to be slow or have pressure issues for any number of reasons I could be falsely blaming shank size. I'd need to burn through multiple barrels of each shank size at max loads to get a better feel if the extra 0.1" shank matters.
I think a 1.0625 tenon thread VS 1.1250 has more to do with pressure than a barrel with 1.25 VS 1.350 shank.
If you don't have an 8.5 twist or faster don't bother with the heavies. If you do they are well worth it to shoot out to 2k. Beyond that I would probably want a 338 or larger. Inside a mile, I would take a 300 Norma with the 245 Berger over any other combination. But everyone has their opinion of what works and what doesn't so don't get too caught up in the noise.
I shoot 245s with a 9 twist, no problems out to 1952 yards for me. I do live at 3k ft elevationIs the consensus that 8.5 is fast enough for the 245s and 250s, or should I look for an 8 twist?
I have an 8.3 twist and shoot at 250-800 ft elevation. I'm sure you'll be fine with 8.5Is the consensus that 8.5 is fast enough for the 245s and 250s, or should I look for an 8 twist?
Don't overlook temperature. If you shoot at sea level at 20 degrees or cooler that 8.5 gives you a little buffer.Awesome, thanks guys. I'm at 2000', and shoot anywhere from 3k to sea level.
