This bloke took the time to go through the whole reloading process(I mean everything) over the phone.And by-geezus it made the whole thing allot of fun & never a stress.

Powder = AR2213SC
Primers = Federal GM215M
Brass = Norma
Projectiles = 225gn Barnes TSX(Triple shocks)
AOL on all = 3.62"-3.63"
Reloading Manual Min=82gn,Max=86gn.

I was playing it safe at first so I started right in the middle(84gn).

84
84.5
85
85.5
86

Not one sign of any overload on any load :twisted: .
