Thanks for the info on the 175gr SMK, did you use 2209 with them?? What minimum charge weight would you start with in a Barnard action?
Do you find sorting of the sierra's by bearing length necessary?...
Ben,
Yes 2209 mem5529, 53gn but I'd start at 50 to 51. Regarding sorting, I used to do it with 6.5mm 142gn SMKs because they varied by up to about 0.010". However all 7mm 175s I've measured have been very consistent, so I don't sort them.
