What did you do today in the reloading room?

Quack, I ran your particulars 175 ELDX, 3.330" COAL, 20"bbl, and came up with 74gr to 74.5gr N570. Case is full but not compressed and pressure is low at 54kpsi.

Yep, perfect node. I run the 180's slightly less than that

Yes I cranked it to 69gr. for next load. I also loaded 5 rounds with 79gr LRT. Same bullet. I also have some 180gr ELDM loaded. The N570 seemed to burn completely, cleanup wasn't really bad either. Once I get accurate load I'll chrono.

N570 will still perform well in a 20" barrel. Am I seeing it correctly, your load is 65gr N570 with a 175gr bullet?

Yes that's correct. I started pretty conservative since I read the 7mm PRC can build pressure signs quickly.

I worked on some more 95 SST's for 6 arc today. I've struggled getting the right seating depth for those but I think I'm finally there with a much shorter OAL than I would have thought. Just need some more pigs to come around.
