A little addition to this thread. Im trying to stay motivated to do the bedding job on this rifle. Been dragging my feet a bit and don’t enjoy working out in the heat of my garage. So this weekend from the comfort of AC I did some load development. I have a bunch of 215gr Sierra Gamekings that I figured I’d shoot up before working with the Barnes I want to use. This way I can get a good feel for this rifle while I break in the barrel and rough sight-in.
I had some issues with the CH seater die as I set it up three different times and had three failed attempts. I resorted to doing it the old fashioned way. Screwed the die into the press until I felt it contact with the case.
I had some successes at last. Pulled the bullets and recycled everything but the cases.
