[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 770382, member: 59915"] Thank you ronin and nimrod. Nimrod the photo was great, I could make out every word. My lee book for a 95 grn jacketed showed 44.5 but I wanted to be more exact. I shot 5 test shots the other day with 44 grains of H4831 and I just seated the bullets with my die setup for the noslers. Didn't want to mess it up just yet cuz the noslers shoot great. I thought I'd try a few groups with different powder charges first hoping to get lucky and maybe find a load that shoots well without resetting my die. That way I could reload both very repeatably. The way it is set my noslers are .01 off the lans. I have no idea where the bergers are at this point. I'm guessing about .04 off but I'll check one day. The 5 shot group shot well. The first shot was a little left but then the next 4 grouped well. Measuring all 5 makes it 1-1/2" group. The 4 that were together 7/8". My barrel is a 1:10 twist but I thought I'd try these anyways. I'm going to load some more groups at this same length but bumping up the powder .3 grains at a time. See if they tighten up or open up. Thanks again for the picture. Very helpful. I'll let you know how they do. Oh and it's a Marlin XS7 243 w/22" barrel that I use for my wife to deer hunt with and me too once in a while if I want to pack light. Also yote hunt from time to time, but I mostly just shoot it for fun at steel.
