245496 and 245497

[Guesser]

Both are single cavity GC.
Anyone have experience with either or both.
I have a 14" TC Contender in 6X47 that the lighter of the two might work in. The heavier should be OK in a BLR 243.
Open and soliciting suggestions and opinions.

I have both, but have only shot them in my 243. It has a rather short throat, and I have had to seat with the gas check below the case neck so they will chamber. I had better luck with the 496, that would be my recomendation, but I have not had alot of success with either. It may be all in my head, but I never seem to have much success when I seat the check below the case neck. I did better with the 245498, as I did not have to seat them so deeply. If you could size down the first few bands a few thou, it might work better, I'm not sure. I don't shoot many Loverin boolits. The 498 over a middle charge of 4759 has done the best for me, but the 496 would probably be my choice of the 2 you listed, YMMV. Billy

I have 245496. The cast I shot didn't respond to the gun well. The guy I bought a 6 TCU 60 deg shot well with same bullets. His best results came using 4198 and 2400.
