    Hi just my first home loads myself , I can only tell you what I've done , I used once fired federal brass , I left the length alone re-reamed the primer pocket and chamfered it , chamfered the inside of the flash hole , resized the neck and chamfered the neck inside and out , used CCI small rifle primers , load Vit n133 in 5 offs in .2 stages from 22 gr up to 24 and used Berger 52 gr flat bottom target round seated to make the o/l 54.25 to 54.3 which is .1 under maximum, I'll be at the range next Friday to fire the 22 to 23 ones I'll post back with my results

    look forward to your results  🙂

    Try sako 50gr game heads , has for your reloading the only advise I can give is if your not in the Usa try and stop away from Sierra and hornady there good heads but can be hard to get , I'm going to start reloading will Berger heads there a little more expensive but easyer to get hold off , Vit N133 powder for the same reason , should be easy enough to work up your own load as it's only 2Gr from minimum to maximum load

    Thank you for the advice.
