[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1081799, member: 13833"] Rob is correct that this is not an option. I have never used wax, so I can not comment on its use personally. I have always used old fashioned cow and a paper or cotton plug in the neck. I have not found cow to be particularly messy. You just have to clean the bore after you form. All you will have is a little carbon. With N550, I would try about 17 grains since it is close to Blue dot which I have used. If the shoulders are a little too round to suit you, just add a couple of grains. The shoulders will ALWAYS appear a little "Weatherby Like" until you fire a full load, but this is not a problem.......Rich [/QUOTE]
