[QUOTE="BucksAndBulls, post: 1362860, member: 64107"] I have a couple questions for some of you fellow 6.5 ss shooters. I am in the process of working up a new load for mine (147 Eldm), and was curious if anybody has used HBN. I decided to start, and have seen my es drop, but I have noticed that bullet seating seems to be a lot harder, so much that it has been leaving a ring around the bullet nose. You would think that HBN would have the opposite effect on seating... Also are most of you guys using the expander with the seating die or just running a bushing that is around .002 smaller than a loaded round? Wondering if i have to much neck tension, or if HBN just makes it that much harder to seat a bullet. Loaded round measures .2935 and im using a .292 bushing with the expander following all of case prep directions Rich has posted in this thread. Mike [/QUOTE]
