    Cannelure not right for a cartridge

    very enlightening. i have the ch tool so guess i'm out of luck with the more heavily jacketed bullets as i doubt the tool will take the increased leverage you describe

    Cannelure not right for a cartridge

    couldn't get the c-h tool to make a dent in 500 grain woodleighs. as you say, the thickness and hardness of the jacket matters

    Looking for Barnes load data for the 450 NE 3/14"

    Hornady manual lists their 350 gr bullets but not with the powders you mentioned.

    35 Whelen load data

    since different bullets have different constructions jacket alloy, bearing surface, etc., i would start with the data from whoever makes the bullets you are interested in using
