[QUOTE="tomestone, post: 462199, member: 28844"] Hello Gary I;am here to let you know how it went. I started with a press prep, lite stoneing on ram top,clean shell holder top and bottom,measure ram play in bushing with dial gauge, .005 side play, measured 22 new Nosler brass and used 2.476 and 2.477 lenghts,primed cases with Federal 210 primers,weighted out 22 Sierra Spitzer B.T. at 117.1 grs , set powder measure lite, so I could hand trickle to 51 grs.of IMR 4350 powder,set all my c.o.l. at 3.170 mic.all, range results: 100 yds, Temp -16F, hum. 60%, lite breeze. Off hood of truck 5 shot group 2 ins. high, 2 in. horizontal string directly above target. 2 shots same hole. Brass check 2.475 to 2.476 brass shorten .001. when I measured new brass I measured with vernier caliper to besure no ingraving on case head was being measured. Case shoulder clean and brite full lenght, case mouth no carbon residue, no high pressure signs. My over all veiw on load, power charge dead on, bullet group, strait horizonal line extra effort payed off. Size of group,cold shooting, lead tip bullets, off hood of truck. Would I use this load again? Yes I would be great on white tail,I prefer polymer tip bullets for long range coyote hunting. :) Thanks for encourageing me, the little extra effort really paid off.
