Sorry I don't have any pictures available, that's why I mentioned the load manuals with the OAL measurements...it kind of takes any mystery out of it.

Bullseye is a good place to start and end your quest as far as powder goes. That's not to say there are not others that will work, and well, but it's a proven entity. I mean proven like the sun will rise in the morning.

Depending on the bullet, I like around 2.8-3 grains of Bullseye. I use the higher charge when the bullets are seated out of the case mouth and taper crimped.

Some guys like to go really low on the powder charge, but I would avoid that if you want to shoot out to 50 yards as I've had some stability issues at that range with really light powder charges.

On the whole I generally prefer a semi-wadcutter design bullet as I like to shoot at longer ranges when I get the chance and that bullet design will retain stability at greater ranges, even when started off at moderate velocity.
