Rifle options - recommendations wanted
bowhunter-tw replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I considered the ruger but Id rank the fit and finish on par with the savage I already have. The american ranch rifle does look like a handy set up. -

Are loads really bullet shape dependent??
bowhunter-tw posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Are loads really dependent on bullet brand? or could projectiles of the same weight be loaded with the same charge regardless of manufacture? -
The wood on that remington is awesome!

I was gonna drop down about 1/2 a grain, do you think this is sufficient or should I drop back a whole grain? -

I recently got a suppressor and all the load development was done pre suppressor. I am thinking the suppressor is adding back pressure and pushing my load over pressure. does this sound plausible? -
I know this is old, but did those tools end up selling?

I just reloaded my first 30-30 cartridges. But I have some questions in regards to OAL and COAL. first OAL, when I measure my re sized once fired brass I measure between 2.035 and 2.04. The reloading books say to cut between 2.028 and 2.030. I do not have a trimmer yet so I omitted this step based on the slight difference in length and the info found online. Was this an incorrect assumption? second, the COAL for this load is 2.550, the factory ammo I have is at a length of 2.05 - 2.1. Why would the factory load have such a short COAL, compared to the load data? to get the bullet to the cannelure I seated to a nominal depth of about 2.35, is this going to cause a problem? I am using imr3031 powder. Rifle is a marlin 336. I did cycle them through the action, they all cycle and chamber seemingly fine.

COAL and OAL question 30-30

unfortunately im in tempe, quite the drive from tucson. But I have reloaded quite a few cartridges since that post and learned a lot! I ended up buying a trimmer and headspace gauge (among MANY other tools lol) so am trimming to keep in spec and sizing to bump the shoulders between .002-.005” depending on the rifle. -

Interesting though the secant had higher velocity for same charge -

This is why I was asking, same charge, same weight bullet, different ogive and had pressure signs on one not the other (or atleast I think pressure signs) seeing ejector swipes -
Broadening my search, Anybody have a Tikka, Howa, or CZ for sale (any generation) Would prefer 223 but open to other varmint cartridges
