[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2251455, member: 106514"] I don't have the photo, but 57.0 grains of N160 with a CCI 200 primer and COAL of 3.468" in my Criterion match barrel (seated to just touch lands) in a .280 AI looked just about exactly like this with a 175 grain Weldcore. That load was absolute max, so I'd recommend starting 3 or 4 grains less for sure! Likewise a custom .284 Win Match with McGowen barrel flung the 175 Weldcores 100 ft/s faster than the .280 AI with 57.0 grains of Reloader 23 into the same itty bitty cluster. Used Federal Match 215 (Magnum) primers in this load. Again, this was absolute max in a Match chamber, so I'd advise starting about 54 grains with a standard primer. COAL here was 3.250", which again, just exactly touched the lands. [/QUOTE]
