hi yall!
i just got a batch of 225 grain hornady hpbt match bullets and have spent the evening on the loading bench. i was happy to find out that unlike the 208 amax i can set the hip of the bullet right at the neck of the case and the over all length comes in at max coal. the 208 amax is alittle long and wont fit my mags (usually shoot single shot anyway)
i've loaded 3 rounds a piece from 77.5 to 80.5 grains of retumbo. now i just need a good day to test. this weekend is supposed to be crappy weather. i might have to wait till next week if there is a break i'll try to get out and then post my results.gun)
