[QUOTE="cspeerin, post: 1317133, member: 98274"] Thanks for your response. I'll take that on board regarding the primers. I'm using digital scales and yes they do go over a small amount most times. I have been taking some grains out of the tray until it drops below 92 then add a grain of powder at a time until it just ticks over to 92. Most times I still have a grain or two that I have not put back in the tray! So maybe I'm best getting a good quality balance beam? I already use the Hornady OAL gauge/anvil on my calipers and it is here I was concerned about the varying pressures applied to my calipers giving me different measurements. Yes this is a hunting rifle I want to shoot to 600m but am approaching the load development so that if I need to stretch out a bit further be it hunting or targets I can with confidence it is only up to me. I made a typo in the original post too in that it is a 26" barrel and not a 28". Kept it to 26" due to it being a hunting rifle that I will be backpack hunting with saving a bit of weight and a bit easy to get it through the bush. [/QUOTE]
