[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 264927, member: 2580"] BowHunt and Two-0-four, thanks. Dan Lilja told me the barrel would stabilize up to 60gr bullets, but that 75gr Amax was so pretty...... Also, I habitually try to get a full caliber of neck engagement, so I don't do much OAL experimenting. However, the mag well on this Mauser has enough length to accomodate .30-06 length cartridges, and the Swift feeds great with the 3 different OAL loads that I tried, so I will experiment with different OAL's with the same bullet even if I don't get a full caliber engagement. I've got a very good selection of 50 - 62gr bullets to try, and some good powders. I used CCI 250-BR2's for the first loads, but will try 210M's and 9 1/2's also. BowHunt, looks like your .220 is coming in! Thanks again, Tom [/QUOTE]
