If I remember corectly, they were right at the lands or just short? (COAL 3.705" ) you have the same chamber so the coal should put you where you want to be......Rich

That is from the base if the case to the tip?

Read the whole thread.

You're making great progress.

However, I think your velocities are a bit puny. If'n yur gonna shoot with the geriatric set yur gonna have to step things up a bit.

Above was tongue-in-cheek but only a little....

Ever think of giving 50 BMG a try. With bullets on the heavy for bore side 50 BMG came into its own, over Retumbo, H-1000 and US-869 300 OTMs in a 338 RUM.

PS: ya best be getting it together before you shoot out that barred.

Its a fun thread. Keepr goin'.

Thanks Roy, i think the long bearing surface is the reason my velocities are low, and the fact i am about 2 grains below max. I want to hit 3035 with the 215s so i can just steal Jeff's dope in Townsend and hit my target with minimal work. One of my Dad's friends has a 50 BMG, he uses it for prairie dogs. Lol. I want to give it a try. I only have 144 rounds down the barrel, it should last until the end of next year. I hope the 215s are easy to develop a load for, i start school tomorrow so range time will be minimal.

Riley,

I meant 50 BMG Powder. . .

Riley,

Oh, my bad, i thought it didnt make much sense when talking about the cartridge. Lol

No i havent, i dont think i would have enough capacity to hit pressure before having to super glue and/or duct tape the bullet to the case to keep it from moving out on me.
