[QUOTE="adiredneck, post: 1935668, member: 43329"] I took a gamble and set up my dies off the once fired brass I had. I forgot I had some 160 Sierra Gamekings in the cabinet. There were 26 left, so I loaded them up yesterday and went shooting with a buddy. The box of factory remington 150’s were 2” off to the left at 100, but the elevation was never touched. I shot 6 of them and then moved on to the 160 Sierra. I ran a patch through every 3 shots while the barrel was cooling. The 160’s needed 3 more clicks to the right and my last two were in the bullseye at 100. They definitely had more recoil, but it wasn’t bad. Load was 62gr of H4831. I was using the Nikon 4-12x40 off my 116 savage with Warne rings. I didn’t even have to loosen the rings. My brass was growing another .002 more than the once fired that I had, so I had to loosen my sizer just a hair. [/QUOTE]
