Hello all ,, I'm kinda new to casting and I just got a Lee 170 gr gcfn mold to load up in my win 94.
I'm crimping these just below the top band on the bullet and my over all length is coming out at 2.560- 2.563. My Lyman reloading book shows max over all length as 2.550. I didnt want to seat the bullet past the front band for fear that recoil would drive the bullet back into the case and have the gc past the neck of the case, but I also dont want it too long causing a pressure spike.
Anyone out there using this bullet in a 30-30 ? Where are you crimping these bullets?
Any good loads using imr 3031 powder(or any other powder)for this bullet would also be helpful. Thanks Dan
