Hornady Plains Bullet Loading Question
« on: March 24, 2009, 03:57:54 PM »
Hey guys,

The other day I was loading some 385 hornady great plains bullets, and was pretty confused about the loading pressures needed.  At first, they are extremely tuff to start in the barrel.  After they have started, it seems light they would almost go down the tube by the weight of the ramrod alone.  Is this normal?  They seemed to have shot OK, but still, is this normal?  The gun is a 50 cal. Remington genesis.

thanks,
vanbuzen9
