Bullet Puller

[PistolPete75]

Is there a bullet puller out in the market that will pull out according to my specs? I sitted in my bullet 0.50 too far in.

I have the Hornady one and it works pretty well. Its much easier than the kinetic pullers. If you get it a little too tight, it can put some marks on the bullet, but nothing deep by any means.

just learned a big leson today. not all brands of brass is the same length!

[PistolPete75]

can i reset the bullet, or do i have to resize the neck again?

[rksimple]

Neck should be fine.

can't wait till we go shoot again! thanks for bringing the steel!

[rksimple]

It was a good time. I should have a few more targets welded up by the next time you guys come to shoot. That hillside will be littered with steel!

what do you think the worst case scenario is if i just shoot my rounds at 2.755? it's just 50 rounds, will it make a big difference than an 2.800 oal?

at least, i won't make the same mistake again.

By putting the bullet so far into the case, it decreases case volume and can increase pressure. What load are you running? Is it near max? If its a moderate load, you should be fine. Try it in Wildcard's rifle first! Just kiddin...

ETA: Also, with that big of a jump to the lands, your accuracy may suffer a bit.

wildcard sets his load to 2.83ish, and his grouping are really tight. my original load was with reloader15 at 42.8 grain set at 2.775oal. for benchrest it was fine, but for distance velocity was on the slower side. i'm running 4064 right now at 42.5grains, and i actually miscalculated the oal on the last load which was 2.550ish and the velocity was 2615fps. shot well at long distance, but didn't have a chance to test out the 100yard groupings. i'm going to keep 4064 load, and move my oal up to 2.800 on my next 100 loads. do you think it will go slower or faster? i really want to keep my velocity at the same pace, but want my accuracy to increase.

If that last load, the one with the shorter OAL was the one you shot over the chronograph, your 2.755 rounds should be just fine. I wouldn't worry. The next time around, try seating the bullets out a little ways. 2.820-2.830 is pretty good. I'm seating the Scenars at 2.835 and they do well, both in accuracy and feeding from the mag. The SMK's (and the Nosler CC's I would assume) are pretty jump tolerant. Use your same load and vary the seating depth to see which one gives you the best results.

cool, my next weekend i should have about 150 rounds to shoot. hope everything works out, and we go shooting again next weekend! i know wildcard is going to load up alot this week. my bro, hopefully would be joing us too with his 30-06.

[rksimple]

I'll be here next weekend. I just made a powder valley order for another 8 lbs of Varget and another 1k of Scenars. Now I can use some of the 500 rounds I have loaded that I was saving for that class. I'll get going on that steel...

[proraptor]

are you guys using the 155 scenars? we were getting better results with the 167 scenars...are you using the silver scenars or the regular ones?
