hi guys I went to have a play with a few loads today with the swede. I ended up with a few spectators as the rifle was performing with quite a lot of muzzle flashes. it wasn't every round but the majority. I wasn't using hot loads and the only thing I can think of that would cause it would be unburned powder. some of the cases were very sooty too. could all this be from seating too far out? its 6.5x55 and I was using 95 grain vmax bullets over 48.5 grains of n160 upto 49.5 grains. I stopped there as it was grouping 5 shots under thumbnail. any ideas? I wanted to try for better groups but didn't seem much point if its not burning whats already in the case. cheers for looking
