    The bullets are still good, and I have a number of them. So will probably pull them and reuse. Anyone got a good load they like?

    Ken Waters Pet Load for a 215gn Woodleigh was 46gn of RL19 - very accurate apparently.

    Another forum guy gave me his load for the same bullet as 43.5 gn of 2209 doing 3100fps out of a Ruger No. 1. He told me "It had a fairly short barrel as the previous owner had put a suppressor on it. It is about mid range load on the ADI handloaders guide. I tried it at 300m with a 100m zero to see what it was like at longer ranges and I managed to get about 1.5 inch 3 shot group...albeit nearly 32 inches low at 300. ES on the speeds was from 2056-2083 FPS averaged 2072 FPS across 5 shots."
