[QUOTE="436, post: 349403, member: 16609"] texasgunner, Here's a thought that might help with the .220 Swift...in my book one of the all time greats in almost any rifle. When I first started looking for loads for the .220... I’ like most others, wanted to use its large case capacity to its fullest advantage. I'd worked up loads, and found most the time my best load was right at the top of the max end of the loading books pressures. As I reached the desired velocity and accuracy, I'd find that once in a while my cases would show some “really serous” pressure problems. Well to make a long story short; I traced it down to my scales. I turned in my RCBS 505 & 10-10's for an Ohaus 1110 Dial-O-Grain, and then I’d picked up a RCBS Charge Master 1500’ last a Ohaus Triple Beam Balance scale. I don't have those problems any more... if I see high pressure, then they pretty much all are going to show it... So now once I'm set’ it's good. To tell you the truth; the best single bean scale I've ever used is a very “old” Redding #1 that was given to me way back... man that scale is dead nuts on once it set up properly, I've checked the Redding many times with my other scales. Guess I should have started using it before I bought all the others. Just a passing thought on the subject. 436 [/QUOTE]
