I might try doing that, was just curious if I had any options. Also, what powder do you recommend? I believe I am using 49 grains of W748 with the same bullet and am not getting that velocity. Load data is a bit tough to come by I'm finding out. I started at 46 and worked up to the 49 grains, but I think I'm around 2,150 or so but would need to check that to be sure.
