[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 804405, member: 13833"] Nothing wrong with a std. '06. One of the most avilable and easiest to load for ever! I would suggest this though; if you are going to bother with improving it, you are going to improve it more with the Sherman than an A.I. Don't let the detractors scare you to death with visions of the nukes I've been loading! Here is an example: Lyman #48 loading manual. 300 SAUM max load with a 180 grain (64.5 grains IMR 4831) 200 grain (62 grains IMR 4831) my case holds approx 2 grains more than the saum and has a longer throat which adds even more capacity. I was loading 64 grains of IMR 4831 with a 190; right in between these two, for 3050' with a 28" barrel. Do the math!
