    For maximum “modern bolt action pressure” I would use the CIP or SAAMI spec as bolt thrust is related to the taper of the case.

    Interesting idea. Another approach would be one meal a day, and then eat when you have to haul something out. Food is also good for when you need body heat. This is all at your own discretion though.

    I hope my surgeon shoots, now I’ll be able to pay my bill with primers.

    I think your mate has some issues you’ll need to sort out first. With some very rough numbers from GRT you should expect about ~2900fps with a 24” barrel, 2213sc, and the 143gr.

    Velocity and Gordon’s Reloading Tool (GRT). I use GRT to predict a load at maximum pressure, and note the velocity. Then run a ladder test up to that velocity. Finally I will calibrate GRT with my...

    If you mean muzzle velocity, then yes. If you’re talking about bullet speed during flight then SG increases as velocity drops because velocity decays faster than rpm.

    I've got a 6.5x55 which is basically the same as what you've got. Provided I didn't buy too much gear (didn't happen) my break even mark was around 800 rounds. I allowed $4 per round for factory ammo...

    As for why it's uncleaned. I've been cleaning about every 50 rounds. The last clean was about a month ago. There is just too much contradictory information about cleaning out there. The suppressor...
