I'm going to be making the powder companies very happy with all these powders. ;0)

Thanks


I use the largest Lee Dipper Cup (4.3cc), one tap on the side of the powder canister to settle the powder then scrape it flat with a toothpick before dumping it into the case. I played with the seating depth a bit, my Ruger likes about .005" off the lands. I made a dummy round with a bullet seated at the optimum depth so setting up my seating die takes about 10 seconds. It was not difficult to get this Ruger to get to shoot well. Same with my 45-70, 221 Fireball and 7mm Rem Mag, not difficult to get them to shoot well, but my Kimber 223 was a real challenge.

I like Reloader #22 too (Reloader #25 better) but found #22 to be a bit temperature sensitive.
