Hey guys,
I've been loading for like 10 years and thought I had a good idea what I was doing... but I have a rifle that's causing unsolvable frustration.
It's a Nosler Model 21 in 6.5 PRC and I don't know if the chamber is too tight on it or if there's another issue in my setup, but I'm having a heck of a time with loads being very hard to chamber and very hard to extract.
Can you give me some sort of checklist of things I can evaluate to figure out what the problem is?
Ps. I'm reloading Hornady brass and no, I have not tried a factory round in the gun. Even if I could find them locally, I haven't bought factory ammo in years and I can't stomach the thought of it.
PPs. I've tried H1000 and Retumbo powders. The bullets have been 129 grain SSTs and 118 grain CBB MKZ (copper). I tried different combos because I wasn't sure if I was overfilling the cases causing them to bulge or something, but I don't think that's the problem.
