[QUOTE="rsnell, post: 1790473, member: 84903"] Keep things simple since you are new to reloading. You have the 10th edition of the Hornady manual and it has loads for the 208 grain ELD match bullet. This data does not include R 33 as one of the powders so do not use it. The Hornady data was developed using the Hornady case. The brass from different manufacturers has different volumes so stick with the Hornady brass. This data was also developed using Federal 215 primers. Since different manufacturers primers have different characteristics, change to Federal 215 primers. Primers should be seated between 0.003 and 0.005 inches below the base of the brass. Change your powder to IMR 4350 or H4831. STAY WITHIN PUBLISHED DATA UNTIL YOU HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE. [/QUOTE]
