Quoting myself ... I've had the test loads built for a few months just haven't tried them. The biggest issue was a tight chamber due to carbon I could not see. Let it soak days between cleanings and got it smooth. Bought some fancy Hornady chamber measuring tools and used a modified case to find the lands. Built a few scope baseline loads and some test rounds with different charges, all same length. First time I have ever loaded off the ogive for a chamber without using OAL. Maybe I will try it Thursday. I could then build the rounds for Dad and be done.GasGuzzler wrote: ↑11 Feb 2023 05:24 I am revisiting the possible headspace issues I had back in 2016 on a Savage 340C in .222 Rem.
Hoping this is a reloading project and not a headspace issue.

Re: Did Everyone Quit Reloading?
I’m still loading my own. I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of reloading 444 Marlin into .410 shells.
