Grabbed my old school varmint rifle in 22-250 and went to the shop to load a pile of twice fired brass I've had in a box all year, old school slow twist heavy stainless syn 700 Remington with 26 inch barrel wearing an even older 6.5-20x40 AO matte Leupold in lapped Talley LW's, 'Smith has the stock trigger slicked up in the ounces.
WW brass [twice fired, Redding neck sized] inside chamfer with VLD tool.

The short load shot fine at around a half inch in light winds, the longer load [5 thou off] went into less than a quarter in a nice little triangle 3 shot group.
Not a lot of hoopla for these older slow twist rifles, but katy best bar the doors for any crows/coyotes/bobcats etc, within 400 long yards.
