[QUOTE="Truc, post: 819845, member: 44771"] My standard load w/ a 180 Berger is 58 gr of H-4831 59 starts to show some ejector marks. Two grains more for the 168 Berger loaded at 2.9" OAL right at the lands Your OAL would be an extremely hard Jam in my rifle and would spike pressures with a lot less powder. As far as turning necks, unless your reamer is a tight neck don't do it. You will work your brass too much and need annealing or will split. Since you are using Norma brass the neck consistancy is better than most others. When accuracy is measured in .001" or less, everything you can do to make your rifle more accurate is worth it, but in hunting will 1/3" MOA make a difference? Maybe over 1500 yds. I shot the 6 Dasher in comp and that rifle w/ turned necks have shot numerous groups measuring under 2.2" with an agg of 2.82" In short range I lost a match at the Super Shoot some yrs ago at 200 yds by .0001" yes 1/10,000" and the total for the day was .2482" agg, **** Jack Sutton of Hart Barrels :) [/QUOTE]
