Does anyone have a Nosler load book that they could look up the C.O.L for the 8mm Mauser 180 gr ballistic tip? (bullet # 32180)
I've been fiddling around building dummy rounds for the last 3 hours and I seem to be either jamming the bullet into the rifling or seating them to a depth that looks way too deep.
The one source that I have says 3.020-- and the numbers I've been crunching, using a few measurements, are telling me that 3.209 would be max in my rifle using this bullet(yugo M48), assuming my measurements are correct. Even going .030 deeper gives me a col of 3.179, but even that shows rifling marks on the Dummy and a bit of resistance closing the bolt.
I was hoping someone with a Nosler book could fill me in as to the correct col for this bullet before I kill myself with a calculator and ruin a perfectly good rifle in the process.
BTW: this is my first box of BTs as I usually am a Hornady guy. Hence the absence of a Nosler book on my shelf.
