Notes: The rifle is an early birthday present from me to me. I went out to the range I use, to start some load development and was lucky enough to get a load right off the bat. Attached are the results. Also I started with and used only one piece of brass, once fired, for the whole process. I used Lee Dies and no crimp. Needless to say it was a good day. The load is 121 [email protected]”oal, cci200, 46.0gr of RL16, Avg 2880fps.
