Here are the loads and how they fill the cases. #1 starts at the right.

Some will lightly compress, appears 748, TAC, H-322 and Benchmark, the least.

I'm not pushing the envelope on velocity, just trying to stay in the 2,500 fps range, or pretty close.

All with Win Mag primers as noted earlier. Many of the cases were formed from .243 Win brass, others from various .308's. .243 origin cases don't seem to have thinner necks as one would suppose.

You can see where I scratched out.H-322, didn't have enough and 2230, some say it's the same as X-terminator, which could be a good one. Decisions decisions.... grin

Here's what they look like with 200 FTX seated. I left the cannelure high, didn't need to seat that deep. The Pre-64 Box Mag is pretty generous, the throat not a problem.

Back row are 158 gr RN revolver bullets over Unique and 2400. Will use another scope for those.
