Hi guys,
not that I ever plan on doing it but I would like to know the likely pressure produced from double charging one of my loads.
I previously used a load in my 30-30 that couldn't be double charged, but pursuing accuracy has lead me to a load which makes it possible. The same is true of my 6.5 x 55.
To attempt, to exclude a double charge, I weigh each case empty, charge, weigh and then seat the bullet. After I have finished loading a batch, /I place a dummy round on the scales and weigh each round against it.
If some body who has quick-load, could please run some simulation for me it would be greatly appreciated! I want to determine if I am playing with fire, and how hot that fire is!
The loads (if doubled) are as follows:
30-30 165 grain cast RNFP seating depth .475", OAL 2.510", no filler H4227 34 grains
As above with H4198 32 grains.
6.5 X 55 140 grain cast, GC, seating depth .270", OAL 3.000", no filler, H4227 34 grains.
As above with H4198 32 grains.
Thanks
