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.

Are you saying you have hard bits of rifle sitting on hard bit of post when shooting???

You will never shoot really tight groups without a bench rest type set up or similar. Untill you have a set up like that your just wasting components.

I'm hoping to take mine to the range on Sunday, will let you know how I go and what loads work. I'm going to load up some Hornady 40gr and some Sierra 40gr using 2207 and 2219. Remember that the...
