[QUOTE="Moman, post: 352830, member: 10494"] More than likely you'll end up loading your maximum case length to the length of your magazine. I have that same gun and with 200 gr AB's loaded to max mag length, they still jump .126: It's still a good idea to check and I would recommend you pick up an OAL tool. I use and like the Hornady LNL. The Zediker book is a great idea, also read through the books you have for the basics. You should do work up loads in this gun. Kirby most likely custom tailored those to the gun you had and this new one could be a whole different ball game. Start at a comfortable level below max and work up. Read and understand how to check for signs of pressure so you don't go too far. I don't start at the very minimum load, but atleast a few grains below max and do my workups. I don't fullsize, but I use a FL die and partial size, only bumping the shoulder back about .001-.002. This is at least a partial reply to your questions to get you going, others will add more. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
