Am ready to begin reloading for my my bolt action CVA cascade in 450 BM. I'm using Hornady Custom Grade four die set.
I have Starline brass that my brass prep for was:
Full length resized brass
Didn't trim as all 40 pieces of brass were =/- 0.020-0.025" of each other.
Uniformed primer pocket'
De-burred flash hole
Lightly chamfered case mouth
Polished inside and outside of case mouth using 0000 steel wool using home made polishing jig I put in my 20V Dewalt bat drill.
Cleaned brass by hand to remove Horandy sizing wax.
Using .452" Hornady Interlocks
Used CCI #450 magnum small primers
Using Hogdgdon Lil Gun.
Have a Hornady COAL tools and will use them to help set the COAL of my finished reloads.
For those who have considerable experience reloading the 245 grain Hornady Interlok what is your a COAL that tends to give the best accuracy from a bolt rifle?
My research as been turning up a COAL of 2.300-2.350 as yielding the best accuracy from bolt guns using 245-250 grain bullet, but would greatly appreciate hearing from others who have achieved good accuracy what COAL they used.
