    I have some hornady 150 gr. fmj 3037 bullets I am loading in 300 bo. Can't seem to find a col in any of my info. I have seated one to about the middle of the crimp ring and get something around 2.085. The info on hogdon is for a 150 gr. Interbond and the col is 2.235. I am nowhere close to that. Thinking about downloading the new Hornady app and see what it says. Anyone load that bullet in a blackout?

    I have, many years ago…so no idea where my load info is. Do a Google search…this is a question online as I think the manual is WRONG. the 9th edition manual lists 2.220”, but for some reason I circled that and wrote 2.070”. Again this is from several years ago, so don’t use my number...be careful. The Google search quickly shows some used 2.075”. Best to contact Hornady. In cases like this I check the distance to the lands as well.

    You were very close. I downloaded the Hornady reloading app and bought the cartridge for $1. The 3037 col is 2.090. I knew the info I had was not correct. Thank you for your response.
