Getting ready in the near future to start loading rifle rounds. Started loading pistol, and reloading in general last October on a Dillon XL750. I’ve been very successful with loading 9mm and 45ACP. Developing 10mm and 40 soon as well.
The wife just bought a 300 Blackout AR(bless her heart). I realize I need to step up my game and learn bottleneck. Not just the insane prices of ammo right now, but it’s just something I need to learn.
My biggest head-scratcher is how do I determine COAL for it, aside from what load data is given and the size of the magazine
? For example, with pistol, I seated my 9mm 115 FMJ’s deep enough to where it would fit all 5 of my 9mm pistol’s barrel. To where it would plunk, spin freely when I’d rotate it, and then drop right out.
Im just gonna say, I don’t think this is how things work with rifle. I hear you don’t necessarily determine the COAL by where the cannelure is. I don’t fully understand what ogive is...but I think it’s where the bullet begins to taper down towards the top?
The more I’ve learned about reloading, the more I realize how little I know. I don’t want to do anything unless I’m doing it exactly right. Please drop any and all knowledge you’d like on this in general. And please explain it like I’m 5 years old. Thank you guys in advance
