The rifle arrived in town just over a week ago, and when the dies arrived earlier this week, my brother and I set-to making some pills for it.

With recommendations from forum members and Woodleigh, I have tried 82 and 83 grains of AR2213SC, and although they seem to shoot well, methinks them to be too warm based on the primers flattening-out. I'll continue experimenting, but am open to suggestions / thoughts. This is for the Woodleigh 400 grain RNSNs and Hydros (based on the recommendation on the Woodleigh website that Hydros be loaded the same as RNSNs). For playing around with solids, I used 81 grains of that same powder, with the same flat primer result. Forum Member Pato Senior was able to suggest another powder combination to try, which I will soon. Thanks to Forum Member Jeff for pointing me to it, I will also soon be checking-out www.ammoguide.com for hints.

Anyway, here are some photos of the pills:

I really enjoyed blasting some termite mounds with them a few days ago.
