We haveing a warm spell here, been into the low 50s, was 45 while i was shooting! still alot of snow & ice on the range, so I only shot 50yrds. I have been hand loading, Yes with my hand 310 tools! reloaded 303 180 grain cast, 22HP 60 grain jacketed, and 250 Savage a new one for me! 87 grain hot cores, and speer 87 grain Varmit bullets. used Imr 3031 for all was Very happy, the 250 was a Barrel band that I got off Roy here, Love this rifle! have a Lyman Alaskan stith on the 22Hp, a 2x5 Kales on the 250BB was D&T when I got it! and for the 303 a new rifle to me a 1920H, I put a 291/2 Peep on it, was high and to the left at 1st but got it dialed in in a few shots. I could kill a deer with it at 50 yards, and hope to next season, my last 3 shots were in the bull and 3/4 in. group! I have had very good luck makeing good loads with these hand tools but cant belive how much $$$ they have gone up in price! been fun loading ammo in the house on the cold winter days!
