Thread: The model 7 in your life

Yep I seat long then work the die down after remeasuring seating depth.

Don't know, it was a hornady micrometer stem, don't know what the thread is.

Nice, think I'm going to have to re-do my 162 amax load now I have the Rem brass thanks to @Tikka7mm08 , just got about 10 of the Norma case loads to get rid of first.

...about that Rem brass....

Nothing wrong with my barrel, will shoot 0.5MOA when I do my part. But I'm using Nosler custom brass and only using 65gr 2217 for 2816 fps. Went up to 67 but didn't increase enough to be worthwhile. Hear a lot people using rem brass and 67gr 2217 getting over 2900 fps.

Yeah just having you on, mines pretty hot at 67.5gr for 2990. 68gr was bright ejector stamps

Definitely less pressure for same powder weight in Remington cf. Norma.

I dont think its so much about pressure/case capacity, but more to do with the hardness/softness of the different brand brass, therefore the softer Norma/Nosler showing signs of pressure earlier.

Yes, less evident pressure I should have said.

I collect Land Rovers so that is a perfectly acceptable repair option.
