[QUOTE="45LongColt, post: 505677, member: 32929"] Thanks everyone for the nice comments regarding my rig. Been out two weekends in a row working up loads and finally have a load that is working for me. Best powder, bullet and seating length is as follows. [B][U]Brass Prep[/U][/B] Brass = Lapua 6mm BR Norma, trimmed to 1.557" Forming Die = Redding Custom made from chamber reamer Bushing Dies = Redding Competition Mandrel = K&M .224 Neck Turner = K&M I ran the brass first through Forming Die, then through FL Sizer to set back the shoulder. After that I ran it through a K&M .224 Mandrel Die to shape the neck and turned them very little, just enough to take the high spots off. Next I ran the brass into my Redding Competition Neck Sizing die using a .246 bushing. Loaded round measures .248 and chamber is .250". Next I sorted all my brass to .010 of a grain and boxed them up [B][U]Handload Recipe[/U][/B] Brass = Lapua Bullett = Sierra MatchKing 52 gr BTHP Powder = H322 Charge wgt = 30.6 gr Primer = CCI BR4 Length = .002 off the lands Best group was .193" (3-shot Group @ 100 yards) 45LongColt [IMG]http://www.handgundefense.com/pics/22BR%20Group.JPG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
