I am with you on the 58gr .243 combo. Even the factory loaded stuff works well with that combo. ]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:00:15 MST jinx44 Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5501#5501 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5501#5501
I saw SAAMI max was 2.130, so I was worried about seating it too far out. Then I noticed Hornady actually says to seat at 2.20 with the 52gr A-max. With mine seat out that far, its really close to the lands. I dropped and broke my caliper last night, so I will pick up a new one today and find out how close it is for sure. ]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:56:22 MST jinx44 Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5500#5500 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5500#5500 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:54:32 MST HB Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5499#5499 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5499#5499
What kind of numbers did that guy end up with? ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:06:23 MST Huffmo Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5498#5498 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5498#5498 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:13:54 MST jinx44 Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5497#5497 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5497#5497
55 V-max and Noslers are the lightest varmint bullets I had on hand. I have some 52 gr A-max which would probably do fine though. I may try them and see if it helps stability. I just got back from the local shop and they didn't have any 50gr in stock.

I also didn't have any IMR 4198, so I loaded with H335. It going to be shot year round, so I hated to use a ball powder, but that was the best I had at the time.

The rifle seems to have a long throat in it. I loaded at 2.45" and its still about .010" off the lands. I am still somewhat new to reloading and am scared to load it any longer. I marked mine with a paint pen to find where it hits the lands. I see you said, "smoke your bullet", what did you mean by that? I don't believe I have heard that term before. ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:11:37 MST jinx44 Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5496#5496 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5496#5496 lw ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:06:53 MST woodsman General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5495#5495 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5495#5495 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:35:41 MST hoghntr-PA General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5494#5494 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5494#5494
There is no residual odor I can detect and I do possess a heightened olfactory sense, hence the "handle" Red Dog. ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:44:43 MST Red Dog Gear http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5493#5493 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5493#5493 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:39:45 MST Red Dog Handloading http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5492#5492 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5492#5492

I have a 788 and a CZ527 American chambered in this round, and have been shooting factory ammo so far but am ready to start developing a load.

I am starting with the CZ first. 22" light barrel, 1:14 twist. My main goal for the gun is for coyotes, bobcats, and groundhogs at 200yds.

I just picked up some new WIN brass, and my dies are FL.

Any tips or tricks for .222? What powders, bullets, seating depth, etc? ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:38:25 MST jinx44 Handloading
