[QUOTE="riof16, post: 78541, member: 4535"] Very good words, Fifty! 1.) I am dusting about 50%, the other 50% on paper. 2.) Haven't tried lower velocity yet, foolishly went right for 3900fps the first load - lesson learned. Will report more on how it does in a lower gear. 3.) I will begin seating .020 back for now. 4.) YES, I am getting a tight seat, bullet hard to pull. Not sure why - ref. original post for inside diam. of case. I AM ALMOST CONVINCED THIS IS CAUSING MOST OF MY PRESSURE PROBLEM. Just as I suspected, this 223 WSSM is a V-6 in a 4 cylinder world. One big problem - Ballistic Tip .224 only goes to 55gr. I just came back from Sportman's Warehouse, bought some. I do hear you on going bigger, and I will, but I want to try these B-tip 55s too to have another data point. Problem I am seeing is not a good .224 varmint bullet in the 60-70 range. I will take your advice and try the 75gr A-max at some point on this roller coaster ride, soon as I can make more time and money, TIME being the worst problem. Off to the loading room for now, scarfing sandwich on the way. ..more to follow, and THANKS. [/QUOTE]
