Trakker, aye I used to use Steve's pages before, then I had a hard drive crash. Lost all my favourites and Steve's page was one of them and I could never remember the name of the site and no matter what I put in the search engine it never came up. Thanks again mate.

You should measure the diameter of your bullets and then make a chamber cast of your chambers
and see what the fit is.Bullet diameter should be a close fit to the throating and not groove size.
I wish you a success

I use around 39.5 grains of N140 behind 174-185 jacketed bullets but keep considering cast as well so I would be interested, especially if you have tried them at longer distances.
