So I have a T/C Dimension.... Finally got the 6.5 C barrel.

using 2 different methods, my coal seems to be only ~2.600" instead of the saami spec'd 2.825"

with 130 gr Accubonds...

with my hornady oal gauge i get to the lands ~2.596" consistently.

with a 1x fired partially neck sized empty case, with the bullet barely seated, and me jamming it in there and closing the bolt; it comes out 2.604".

I have emailed TC about this, as i get a pretty compressed load even using a mild load of RL 16 and Varget. I want to be able to seat these bullets out close to the spec but not have to jam it to the lands.

anyone else run into a similar situation? am i missing something that i am screwing up?

to clear this up, my measured COALs is from cartridge base to bullet tip, not the ogive. Thanks Luke for needing that cleared up.

I guess I am confused...is your cartridge base to bullet tip 2.596” or is it 2.596” cartridge base to ogive? If it’s 2.596” cartridge base to ogive your COAL is likely very near what sammi spec is at 2.825”
