95 gr TMK on the left, 55 gr Nosler Shots on the right in a necked down 6.5G case for fireforming. I don't know how far off the lands I am with the TMK, but when I worked up my load at a 2.26" COAL, there was no reason to play around with seating depth. With the Hornady Bullet Comparator, the TMK is 1.680" cartridge base to datum point and the 55 gr is 1.656"
The seating depth to get that long is the fun part::
Correct me if I'm wrong, but cartridge base to lands is going to be the same in 6 ARC and 243 LBC/6 Grendel, so 6 ARC is going to have 0.03" less neck to work with at my COAL.
I don't have any loaded 70 gr NBTVs, but this is one of them next to the 55:
The NBTV has the spitzer boat tail while a Varmageddon is flat based. They are completely interchangeable from a load and zero standpoint, but the NBTVs are a tad more accurate to start and hold that accuracy better past 250 yards or so.
