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.
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.
What Col did you end up with?

2.115 on the SST's, that's right at the cannellure. Every other bullet I'm shooting in 6ARC got right at around 2.250
Do they shoot okay? I've had 0 luck shooting anything under 95grs in my 6arc. I've been shooting 100gr interlocks as my cheap bullets and they do pretty good

Right around 1 inch. That's with a Faxon gunner barrel. The Sierra tipped gamekings shoot a lot better in that one but I'm also pretty happy with 1 inch.
My Savage 99 in .308 really likes my loads with H4895 and Sierra bullets, so I'll save them for it. Since Sierra has gotten scarce and proud of their stuff, and H4895 is non existent these days I'll save the half pound or so I have left for it.
That means my intentions for the reloading bench tonight will revolve around my Model 70 Featherweight (also in .308) and a couple pounds of AA2495 and an abundance of Hornady 150 grainers. What little I've played with that powder shows promise.
I gotta hand it to Hornady. They've kept us in bullets through all the scarcity.

I shoot almost exclusively Hornady bullets for this reason
