[QUOTE="Smoothie25, post: 2253343, member: 94211"] Hi All, I'm working up a load for a new bullet. I found a powder node that had SD 11, ES 21. Ruger American 243 Sierra Gamechanger 90gr H4350 Fed 210 Win brass (fired several times in the rifle, trimmed and annealed) I shot the ladder at 2.26" which is mag length. I used Berger's suggested seating depth test and loaded at 2.22", 2.18" and 2.14". These are my results. Let me know your thoughts on whether or not I'm close or should seat deeper. Should I try another primer? Also, any idea why my first two shots were nearly touching then 3rd shot is off? I shot three bullets with no break between shots then waited to cool to ambient temp before shooting the next group. It's a sporter barrel so barrel warming up? [/QUOTE]
