MSH, since I started at the bottom of the powder load is it possible that it could drop the bullet as I go up?

Thanks for the explanation.

Ok, I'll do 10 at 43 and 10 at 44. Memory says 45 grains is max.

With my load data based on a 150 grain bullet what if anything do I need to watch for using a 147 grain bullet?

There sure is a lot more work involved with loading rifle vs handguns.

MSH or anyone, do you use Varget? Find it easier to measure? My RCBS Uniflow isn't consistent with the I-4895. A friend suggested Varget, says it flows much better from the Uniflow.

Thanks all!

Used up my 4895 today so I went to the gunstore for more. They didn't have Varget last week. Today they did, I brought home 4 lbs.

I'm out of 147grn bullets but got in 2k of 145 in the mail today. So now I get to work up a new load with both new bullets and new powder.
