cocowboy Wrote:just loaded 25 129 gr Nosler Accubond bullets for my 6.5 Grendel - - New brass - trimmed and champhered. Powder charge is 25.5 gr IMR4895. Nosler info says that is a 98% load by volumn . Seated with Forster Ultra Micro seating die. Issue is when seated most of the bullets have an indentation circular about at ogive. Does not feel like am over stuffed, but sure seems like it. . Any thoughts comments.. Jim

I like Forster dies, have a bunch of them but, this is a well documented issue! Hornady offers more seating stems to help alleviate this problem, however, their excruciatingly tall micrometers can cause problems on a Co-Ax with long action cartridges. If you plan on using a lot of these bullets, you can modify the factory seating stem with a “lapping” compound for better fitment or choosing another powder with less volume!

Doesn’t matter where he is, he is always the smartest guy in the room! IMO! Cool
