[QUOTE="Vortex!, post: 1505257, member: 105785"] So I finally got around to shooting some of my new reloads. My first mistake was in not reading a reloading manual before I started so I just took some factory rounds and used those for my oacl and loaded up 20 rounds starting at 55 gr of h4831 and going up half a gr increments. I had groups anywhere from 1.5 in to 2 in. My oacl was 3.26 :eek: way to short I discovered once I read the nosler reloading manual I got since I loaded up the first ones. Someone had also recommended I check out the Berger seating depth test and I didn't get that done either until now. My chamber is maximum S.A.A.M.I O.A.C.L. at 3.34 in. My oacl was .05 to .065 longer than what Nosler recommends. [/QUOTE]
