I was having problem deforming the nose of a 525 gr Saeco cast bullet trying to load 70 grs of FFg, yesterday at the range I talked with an experienced BPCR shooter and he showed me how to set my rifle up for these big long bullets, basically drop the bullet into the chamber then use a caliper to check from the base of the bullet to the chamber end where the case seats then subtract that from 2.10 the chamber measurement that tells me how far into the case to seat the bullet. I loaded a dummie round up to make sure it chambered okay. I then loaded 60 grs of Goex FFg using a .060 OPW which gave me .250 powder compression. I'll shoot these next week to see if the rifle a Sharps repo likes them.
I did shoot some 350 gr Goex BP rounds I had at 100 yds yesterday, I need a different front sight insert I think, I was using a fine post with a dot, going to try a ring type next time.
