[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 416729, member: 3533"] As for seating: Looks like a 165 IB loaded to OAL of 2.80" is 0.071 away from the lands--max length for my old tikka and a seemingly long jump. So, starting with Forum member Wood's suggestion: "For me, I start at .025" off the lands (when it will fit the mag) and 90% of the time find a powder charge that will fill my accuracy needs (hunting bullets in hunting rifles). Time then to load a bunch and do a bunch of long range shooting." ... I should load the 165IB to 2.845" OAL or 2.299" length measured on the Ogive with my bullet comparator... That bullet will look a little long, but I'll see how it fits in the HOWA internal mag and feeds. OCW loads would be three each at 41.2, 42.0, 42.8, 43.7, 44.5, 45.3, 46.1, 46.9 grains of varget (plus one more for each to account for flyers etc...) assuming max charge of 46.0g Varget for the Matt Matt [/QUOTE]
