Anybody shooting these??
Where are you loading them: jammed, touching or jumping to the lands? If shooting jump, how much in your rifle??
Just looking for a starting point.
Thanks
0.010" into the lands with 0.025" neck tension works well in most rifles I've played with.
I shoot them in a 20” 6.5CM Remington Model 7. I’m magazine restricted to 2.8” and I load them a little shorter. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but at that length there is a considerable jump and they shoot great for me. I’ve shot several 5 and 10 shot groups at 330 yds that were less than 3”.
Just checked my notes and I have a .130” Jump to the lands.
I found my tikka like 46 grains of RL 26 and .01-.05 shoot about the same is been very accurate at all depths
The 147 doesn't seem to be fussy. I've fired ~1000 thru 2 different rifles. One has magazine OAL limitations (RAR-P) and gets loaded to SAMMI length. In the other (T3x) I can load to the lands. If anything the one with a big jump is the more accurate rifle/load combo.
Small sample size, FWIW.
I have shot quite a few through my Creeds and .260s. They are very accurate and kill deer and antelope with authority. I load them to 2745, with Reloder 26.
