[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 781619, member: 10540"] get the hornady OAL gage and a comparator set to find the lands (cartridge overall length). You will need to size down a modified 243 case with a bushing die to allow the 22 bullet to slip fit. I suspect you already have a redding bushing die, probably a 243 die with smaller bushings for your wildcat? so you just need to measure the ID and OD of your fired case and get the corresponding bushing & expander button for the modified case get the sinclair case length gage to measure maximum trim length (case overall length). when trying out the sizing method as previously stated, you can use a dry erase marker to color the brass and see where its hitting. this "may" give you some usable information depending where it marks. have you eliminated the other variables? tried a mounting a different scope, for example? gone back to the original loads that worked best for the first owner? checked bedding, barrel to stock clearance, torque settings on all fasteners, etc? I could go on and on about the many things that have caused accuracy problems for me that didn't have anything to do with my reloading! [/QUOTE]
