I'm not belling the case mouth for seating the 550 grain VLDs and I sometimes (when I remember!) do it for the 325s and 500 grainers.

I use a...

But for sub loads it is better to go heavier than lighter. My cross over weight is 200 grains. I have hunted successful with 180 BTs at subsonic but they work even better at supersonic!

Spook - do you know anyone who has done a 8 twist barrel in 30PPC?

I personally am ambivalent wrt the ejector in the Rem and have bolts with and without them.
