    55grn winchester soft point factory loads

    Well it appears they work rather well in RUMPYs .223 rifle...and it just so happens I have a couple of hundred of the projectiles - ones sent off to Mr Songhurst to use in his .22-250 (wonder if he got to load and try them before on selling rifle LOL) ....so I am thinking of reverse engineering load.....99% sure it will be 748 powder has anyone pulled them apart to find out how much????
    overall length is piece of cake,just go off factory round.
    my thinking is try middle of range powder charge in good brass of same type(removing as many variables as possible) and just see what happens,If can reproduce the magic by using same powder and same projectiles at same overall length....life will be good.
    if not...well will just have to tootoo a bit more till we do.
