I know this has been discussed before, but just wondering if anyone has come up with any new methods. It’s no problem for me with my .45/70 slugs, but almost impossible to stand up 140gn 6.5mm gas check boolits, before one falls over and creates the domino effect. It happens with.30 cal. plane base too, but it’s the most frustrating with the 6.5s.
I’ve bought several different kinds of silicone pads, but none had any forms that would work for me. I’ve thought of drilling holes in a Teflon cookie sheet. I haven’t yet because I haven’t convinced myself it will work. I don’t like the idea of putting them nose first and ending up with a ring on the nose. The driving bands are at the very base so I can’t set them into anything deeper than the gas check.
Any ideas or do I just have to stick to Alox for this caliber?
Thanks for ideas.
