   conclusion? I think the Sierra #1385 40gr hp is the go. I think it will be worth trying without resizing down to .221" If I can get a .24" group @25m to translate through to 1" at 100m, I'd be...

   yes, some data. AR2207 22.5 gr. 3392 - but seated too long, so ignore 23.0 gr. 3384 23.5 gr. 3494 25.0 gr. 3693 - this one showed some cratering of the primer, so too hot.

   I'd suggest trying 24.5gr, but watch out for pressure signs. You can always post a photo of some fired case heads/primers if you want an opinion. My last load I did was 24.7gr, but a .221" bullet,...

   I reload this cartridge, also in a Bars. I have a couple of comments; 1. A 55 gr projectile is too long for the slow twist. The original bullet was a very short blunt nosed projectile. I suggest a...
