Mmmmh...I'd say it does.... :mrgreen: My impression was that 4198 was affected more than other powders I have used....

I have been loading it in my Triple deuce and this powder has produced very good groups, both with 50 and 55 grain bullets. Very fast powder, much faster than Norma 200. I was wondering though and that's the reason I am posting here to get your opinions.... ...I have got the impression this...

For what it's worth, I have a 222 Remington (nowhere near the 22-250 I know... :wink: ) with a 1:14" 20" barrel and she shoots very well up to (and including) 55 grainers. I have also tried the 60 (Partition) and they do well up to 200 meters, but they scattered a bit beyond that point.... I...

Gentlemen, is there some of you Guys who's willing to run QLoad for me, please ? I am waiting for H322 powder (which seems extremely rare out here...) and would like to get ahead of things and ready with some loads, using the following bullets : - Nosler BT 40 - Nosler BT 50 - Nosler BT 55 -...

Ok Doc...I got that !!! :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: I fixed it ! :mrgreen:

Nice shooting Colcolt ! What bullets did you use ? Oops, sorry for the big pictures....I'll be more careful next time :oops: So far, I have been loading 3 different powders : Norma 200 It gave me good results behind Ballistic Tip 50 e 55 grs and hot loads. A little slower than 4198 IMHO...

Done some testing after setting up the Die. The bullet sits tight enough, although not as much as with the standard "FULL" Redding.... Loaded 3 cartridges per load - total 3 loads (already tested before with good results). Brass : Lapua once fired in my gun, resized the first time with Lee...

Thank you Colcolt [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]. I am gonna read it with caution and try to follow the correct procedure.

Hi Folks, just got the LCD to try to solve the "headspace" problem on my 222 Remington. I have read a few things on how to properly set and size with this particular type of Die. Lee recommends to size and then rotate the case 90° for a second "pass". Someone else stated than rotation should...

Sorry to bother Doc.......but I've just noticed you have listed Hodgdon Powder...... Is IMR 4198 not available fronm QL ? Thanks :wink: J

Thanks Doc ! The stock number for the Sierra bullets are as follows : SPT 50 grs. - 1330 SPT 55 grs. - 1360 :wink:

Hi Folks, Is there Anyone who can please run the following combos on QuickLoad for me : - IMR 4198 powder + Nosler Ballistic Tip 55 grs. bullet (G1 B.C. 0,267) - IMR 4198 powder + Nosler Ballistic Tip 50 grs. bullet (G1 B.C. 0,238) - IMR 4198 powder + Sierra SPT 55 grs. bullet (G1 B.C...

Thanks for your help. The main reasons I wanted to fire form was mainly due to : - new brass not being too straight - avoiding to go to the range, which is quite far away (since the usual range is closed these days). I agree that shooting at targets is wayyy more fun than fire forming my...

Is there a procedure for fire-forming new brass without using bullets ? Just primers, powder and some "media" (paper, cream of wheat...else) ? In the specific, I have a box of new 222 brass that I'd like to fire-form before try accuracy and was wondering whether there is a method which could...

Thanks a bunch Doc ! :-) Inviato dal mio GS 1150

Apologies for not replying sooner..... Back to my question, I did some rough research and I should be good with the two following powders I have available at the moment. Could you give me some loading data with Vihtavuori N133 & N140, behind a 170 grs. Flat nose Sierra bullet ? By the way...

Do you Guys have some good recipe with IMR4350 for this caliber, using 150, 165, or 180 bullets ? Thnx ;) Inviato dal mio GS 1150

Although I have a few years experience with bottleneck rifle handloading, I am about to start reloading for this caliber for the 1st time. Is there anything in particular I should be aware of ? In the meantime, I have a few question for you Folks : - Is crimping necessary ? - Should I get a...

Thanks very much for all of your replies Guys. Nobody would try this path ? : http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-e ... 39926.aspx I am all ears :mrgreen:

Updates.... I have done more testing, with different brass.....same results :cry: I definitely think the problem is the excessive headspace, although it does not seem to affect accuracy too much.... Can you Guys tell me the exact procedure to adjust (read: refine :mrgreen: ) my FL...
