...apologies, having issues getting the images to upload, will work on it...probably have to break the posts up into smaller bits..
stand by
These images following this post show each of these bullets seated to a depth that allows them to pass the Sheridan gauge, i.e., fit in a SAAMI spec chamber AND fit in the typical magazines 2.260" limit. Before seating them, I checked each case to ensure it passed the gauge. The Berger 105, Berger 95 VLD Hunting, Nosler 105 RDF and Hornady 108 ELD-M can all be seated to a COAL of 2.260" and pass the Sheridan gauge, the others needed to be seated deeper as their ogive made contact earlier and prevented the casing from seating/chambering fully.
The CBTO's for all after SEATING are as follows:
Berger 105=1.6635"
Berger 95 Hntr Classic=1.697"
Berger 95 VLD Hntr=1.667"
Nosler 105 RDF=1.693"
Nosler 70 Vmgdon=1.639"
Hdy 108 ELD-M=1.686"
Hdy 90ELD-X=1.658"
Hdy 87VMax=1.664"
Remember, this info is for the new reloaders and an attempt to help them off on a trouble free, or at least less troubled path, in reloading for the 6ARC.
