Well I looked at the HOGDON site first. It said this powder and bullet a COL/OAL length of 1.20 looked stupid short compared to factory WWB. So referenced my LYMANS boodk for a COL/OAL of 1.275. Factory WWB measured 1.263 to 1.265. So I set my dies for 1.263. Also crip on factory was .468 so I went with that. Added 6.3GRS +/- .2GRS of the IMR 4756 (LYMAN book called for 6-7GRS so did the HOGDON site).
5shot group was 2in or better at 10yds. it looked like a colverleaf or daisy center of target. I was happy with the 5. No cycle or feed or fire issues. Figure I will run about 50 at this load at a measuring pace (I have so far loaded and measued an additional 15 rnds). Not really happy with the LEE PWDR measurer but it is new so will keep tweaking it.
