    Micky Duck Yes, i will try that. But currently im thinking that 1" is 25.4mm. Sooo, get a square lump of 1" steel and drill a 5/16" (0.312") hole through. File them roughly in the mini vice,...

    That has been my understanding for many years. Have read it many times, but have not tried 110gr myself. Same for 308. The 110gr are simply too short. That's why my light load uses 130gr.

    I'm loading 49gr AR2208. 130gr Hornady SP. Nice groups too. About 2700fps I think 22" barrel. Very, very mild to shoot but drop fallow ok.
