echotango Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I had one years ago and I believe it was 5.4gr w/124 and 5.7gr w/115 for 135pf. Both at 1.165". Or are you shooting major? Edited October 25, 2019 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4n2t0 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) You need to do a little more reading before you can reload... - OAL's listed in manuals/data or suggested to you by other users is completely useless. Always find your own OAL and make sure the rounds plunk and spin. - How to determine OAL: https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=34225.msg189131#msg189131 (If your bullet doesn't easily collapse just use the seating die to shorten the OAL incrementally until it plunks) - Plunk test: Edited October 25, 2019 by 4n2t0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you shooting major? ^^^^ Sounds about right ^^^^^^^^^^^ What are you going to do with these loads ? Do you have to meet a certain PF ?
