Bore lead/throat depth?'s
« on: January 16, 2012, 08:14:32 PM »
Got a new 25-06 a few weeks ago, is it common for Handi's to have a ton of lead / freebore whatever you call it?
I can just start the bullet into the case and its nowhere near touching the lands.
My bolt guns like a little bit of jump on the start but this seems like a LOT!

I've loaded up some rounds at different depths to see what difference it might make. I guess I was just wandering if I'm wasting my time.

 My 30-30 does, the .243 I had did.   My 30-30 loads with 150 gr Nosler Ballistic tips are 2.710 IIRC and come nowhere close to the rifling.  I'm sure bullet shape does influence this but its still quite long

I started with 85 grain Bal Tip cause that's what I had, of course it would'nt reach.
The rifle doesnt seem to like those light bullets either
Loaded some 100 grain solid base Nosler yesterday. Hope to get to the range tomorrow.
