sorry for the delay in reply gents
gun shoots factory ammo apparently without a problem (no, it's not my gun)
the reloaded rounds fit into a gauge with no issues...the occasional one is snug but does enter fully and does seat within the limits
the rounds he has me using are 200gr blue coated (not the US ones, these are north of the border ones) and "supposed" to be .401 tho i have seen discrepencies (up to .403) but they do all gauge regardless
brass has been both western metals and atlanta arms (fully processed)...full sizing done regardless, LEE 3 die set, dillon 650
3.8gr of titegroup at 1.125 col
thanx
