[QUOTE="Hudge76, post: 3079530, member: 117629"] For loading, I took a once fired 6.8 piece of brass and made a modified case from it. With it, I took the bullet I wanted to load and found the lands for my rifle. I then proceeded to load a couple .030” off the lands from what was read on the modified case and loaded it in the 7mm SAUM brass I resized, but that still has the SAUM shoulder angle. Once I loaded a couple of them up, I made sure they would feed properly through my rifle. Do this in a safe place, as I did not take my bolt apart or anything. I wanted to make sure everything fit and fed as it was supposed to. I’m sure someone will say I did this wrong and maybe I did, but it worked so far. Next thing, I took a dozen of them I resized and loaded and fire formed them. This was probably the scariest part to me, as I was worried something was goi g to go wrong. Once I fired a couple and felt at ease I fired the other 10. I have since repeated this and fire formed a couple more with a different powder and bullet. I quit as I got keyholes. My load was one grain over book minimum for the bullet weight and powder I used. The first combo was IMR4955 and 165 gr. ABLR. They shot great and no issues. The next ones which I stopped on was with A4350 and 170 gr. NBT. [/QUOTE]
