Thanks. I've been trying 28.5gn but am thinking of backing it off.

If Redding make a full length bushing die for the 22 ARC, I might be tempted to change to a 20 ARC.

I was using 28.5 as well but after playing with a magneto speed one afternoon I found 28 gr gave lower ES.

What primers are you using ?

The 20 ARC sounds interesting but ..........

Berger do a run of the 55s from year to year. I think there are some available in the UK at the moment. I think their BC is around 340.
