[QUOTE="siegrisj, post: 557339, member: 27439"] Ok, I mounted the press properly and loaded up some more. Here were my numbers in order. There were a couple I had to make adjustments for on the die because they were coming out too long. Otherwise I tried to load them without making adjustments on the die. 2.227 2.226 2.230 2.228 2.226 2.228 2.227 2.225 2.228 (Had to make an adjustment on this down below the 2.23 range) 2.227 2.223 (here is a good example of a large jump. I didn't touch the die here.) 2.230 2.225 2.226 2.227 2.226 I sorted them and compared them next to the Federal. The consistency seems to be comparable. 2.227 was the length I was going for. It works out to a ~2.8 COL. Interesting that these are 175gr bullets and the numbers that I posted for the GMM were 168gr. Mikecr says I should have no problems beating the Federal loads, so far it looks like they are comparable. What needs to change do you think? Thanks for the input everyone. [/QUOTE]
