Pictured are my first reloads for a 7mm Rem Mag (Ruger Old Model 77).
Cartridge cases are once fired Hornaday, CCI Standard large rifle primers,Powder Hodgdon H-414, 60 grains, Sierra 130 grain spbt.
Cases were full length resized and trimmed to .010 under max length, tumbled,
primer pockets cleaned and bullets seated to 3.185 o.a.l.
I had 4 FTF out of 9 shots.
All primers show good indentation, primers were installed with a RCBS primer tool and primers seemed to seat VERY EASILY..I handled each primer carefully with clean (and dry) fingers.
Rifle purchased used from a good friend and I had no problem with ignition using factory ammo.
Primers stored in my gun safe in new, unopened boxes.
What are your thoughts on the FTF??
