Had this custom gas check mold cut, drops 275 grs and size to .382.. 20 grs of 5744 chrono's 1560 and is very accurate..Also have a 94 Winchester that takes the shorter 2.082 case . Same load from the 94 is 1480 from the 24" bbl You better be afraid of a ghost!! "Woody you were baptized in prop wash"..crossfireoops Woody
