[QUOTE="arrow, post: 703007, member: 9798"] Thanks for all the help. I tested different powder charges until i came up with 41.5 h4350 was a little bit sticky bolt. So I stuck to 41 max safe load for my gun. And even though 41 shoots pretty tight groups with .090" both groups i have shot with this load were some of the best so far out of this rifle exept that they both had a flyer way off from the group. Also be chronoing it seams that the ES pretty large and the velocity is completely spread over that range where as 40.5 grains is pretty consistant velocity and low ES and groups pretty well. So I think 40.5 H4350 with .090" seating depth is the most consitant load for my gun with those components, but it is still not what i am looking for for group size. So I am now thinking instead of using fed 210M primers try 2 groups of 3 shots each with each primer. Winchester large rifle, CCI large rifle, and CCI BR Large rifle. I will load up 40.5 h4350 and seat 105 vld .090" off lands and use these different primers. I will also be chronoing each load to check for ES as well as accuracy at 200 yards. Does this sound like a good approach? [/QUOTE]
