Not working out so hot. The load with the new bullet is not shooting to expectation. I am now reworking the load. I’m keeping the powder charge the same, but have refigured my max overall length with the new bullet and have a few test loads made up with different seating depths. I’m hoping that this will be the extent of it.
I also found out that my new Hornady seating die with their ELD seating stem is not working well. The edges of the seating stem have swelled out, making it not move freely/smoothly inside the die and is giving me inconsistent seating depths. It also gets stuck in the die if I try to load bullets longer than what it likes. I had to use my Frankford Arsenal universal seating die to load my new test rounds. Fingers crossed.
