Trying extended length for Single Feed bullets on the McGuire 125 grain Copper Rose bullets.

I'm not sure this makes those most sense for an expanding bullet as much as it may for a fracturing bullet, but seating depth could make a difference. May also end up with a different load than the Mag Feed. These are set to 3.060" so will fit in the 3.100" Baney Box if need be.

I've been told the seating depth doesn't seem to make a difference, but until it's tested, I don't think anyone can say for certain.

I was limited on brass on hand, as well as what has Fed 210M primers. I don't think these loads actually need Magnum primers, as there is well under 60 grains of powder, the magic number I've heard to switch over to Magnum primers. Since my 6.5 needs to be re-bore sighted and zero'd in again, I thought I would use the McGuire 125s for this. I want to use these as my main hunting bullet this season.

I also have a box of Cutting Edge 125 grain Maximum bullets and Gorilla/LehighDefense Controlled Chaos bullets. Did I mention I have 2 boxes of 120 grain Barnes TTSXs? :rolleyes: These bullets were actually purchased for 6.5 Creedmoor.
