I've only heard good things about the 120gr BT but I'll see how the sst shoot before I try them
So what loads are you guys using and how many reloads can I expect from my brass

Well I got to the range a few weeks ago to sight in a try out the reloads
I had a box of federal 150grn sp to sight in with and run in the barrel then on to the hornady 120grn sp which shot like crap but the hornady 139grn SST shot well at just over 1" with 43.0 grn of 2208 seated to out to just fit the mag now for the pics
First 4 shots with federal factorys

Good progress being made there mate, Im running the 139gn Interlocks in mine, they shoot very very well, got some Nosler brass from Keith, and at the moment I think Im using 2208, will check the powder load if you like. This box of projectiles I have been using are the boat tails.
