Alright, work day complete and so is a little shop fun time, dummy rounds made.
140gr RDF's at 3.070 coal 147gr ELD's at 3.105 coal 150gr SMK's at 3.120 coal
Best I can do here at the farm with a caliper says the RDF has the shortest base to ogive length by a rch at .740, 147 horn went .744, 150gr SMK went .770.
I'll be looking for 29-3000 fps with whichever bullet is most accurate, 28 inches of barrel and Retumbo should get it there, BR2's to get it lit, this is going to be a fun project, package will leave for 'Smiths tomorrow.
Cartridge base to bullet ogive right? Measurement should be 2.xxx”. I use one of these but there are others.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
