.458 bulging Starline

[laowho]

Thanks All,

I had pre-poured 20 @ 68, 20 @ 69 and 20 @ 70 gr. with .060" wads. The bullet profile is such that the case has to touch the 1st driving band, and on the shortest banded RN (415 gr), seating depth is 9/16" Had to compress the 68 gr over .030" just to get a chamber-able cartridge, and that was after swapping out the .060 for the .030 wads. Think yer right Bob, at least for these. Gonna load these 20 w/ the 415 gr RN but then I'm removin some powder from the other 40 so I can load the 500 gr which seats 5/8" deep. Can't believe it's taken me all night to dial everything in, but it's been good gettin to know the rifle, dies, and all of it.
