[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 726493, member: 34925"] One of my friends who observed (and is a handloader) suggested I switch to Federals. So when I came down here to Fairbanks last I bought a large box of Federal Gold Medal Large Rifle Magnum Bench Rest; I'm thinking that would be FGMLRMBR215? Apparently I've been mistaken all these years thinking that bench rest primers were a step up from magnum primers. I primed 106 once fired Nosler cases. Returning home tomorrow I'll finish loading them and maybe shoot some this weekend or earlier. It will be interesting because although the temperatures are warmer than normal they've not been higher than -15 F for the last two weeks--with wind. I'll walk my loads up in two three shot segments from 89.5 gr. H1000 until either the accuracy or pressure--or both--deteriorate. I think I'll bracket the best combination with increments of .2 gr. and see what happens. Thank you for blindly confirming my friends advice--it sunk in now! [/QUOTE]
