I measured the throat length in my Model 70 7mmWSM w/ 160g Accubond. Exactly 3.00" for my COAL to touch the lands; quite a bit of room past the SAAMI of 2.86".

What did you do today in the reloading room?
- Thread starter Deerhunter
- Start date
Have you measured how long of a bullet you can fit in the mag?
I have not measured my mag, but I have the same gun and it will also feed bullets well over saami

Loaded 10 fresh rounds of 270. 145 grain eld x over 52 grains of imr4350.
Loaded some 357 mag to get rid of a bunch of random 158 grain projectiles that I wanted to get rid of, and a couple hundred with 158gr XTP for deer. 11.7 grains of WC820 pulldown (AA#9) data. That powder is great, burns clean and meters like water. I am using it in 44 and 357 mag.
Primed a bunch of 300BO brass for suppressed sub loads, but the highlight of the day was finding some 35 Rem brass and bullets on another forum for sale. Picked up 46 pieces of once fired R-P brass and 53 180gr Speer hot-cor bullets for $60 shipped.

Loaded a few .257 weatherby loads to check accuracy and verify velocity after running a ladder last week. Also loaded a few 6.5-284 Norma loads to verify accuracy after previous load development (mainly because I gave up on the digital scale).
Picked up a tikka 30-06 just before season started. Tried a load and just wasn't happy. Got some h4350 and 178 eldm. Worked out pretty good.
AA 4350 as well. I use it in my 06, 300 WSM, and even a .243.
My first loads I tried a2495 and a 150 Speer bullet. They done about 1.5". I'll probably revisit them, but it'll be after season.
It's called SubMOA. iPhone. I have no idea what the android app is but they have one
Okay, thanks! I have an android, but I'll find it.

Found a container chock full of 2000 pieces of 223 brass, every last one crimped primer. I purchased them in error quite some time ago and told myself when I break a leg or get snowed in I'll fire up my crimp remover and go to town. No broken leg but a medical issue and couldn't go chain sawing so was going through some boxes and found them, still in the USPS box from my friend at BrassmanBrass
So, tumble in corn cob until all were clean enough to work with. Then small base FL size and decap. Then chamfer inside case mouth. Then SS tumble, dry, and begin to un-crimp. Finish that step then prime. On to powder charge step.
Charging 200 at a time then loading 55 gr FMJ.
Objective is to charge and load at least 200 a day.
So far have loaded 400 223 with 24.5 gr of Shooters World Tac rifle.
The mountain looks pretty steep.

I hadn't loaded any in awhile but, loaded about 20 .357 hunting loads today. Rem. 158 gr. JHP with 17.0 gr. H110 and Federal small magnum primers. I want to get some Hodgdon Lil' Gun and experiment with it some.
