    What was your last 130 Vld load recipe @Gibo?
    I have the 120 TTSX and GKs accurate but have some 130 Vld to load up and have SP, R17, 2206H and 2209.

    Got to try some loads today. AR2209 and the 143s were the winners of the day. RL16 showing good speed for less powder and ok accuracy. The interesting thing is the best load is identical to the load I was running in the 85. Even down to the coal.
    Might try the RL16 behind the 143s next
