Thanks for the info!

Not made anyting yet, I think we are waiting till after xmas, right now need to get a workbench for it and maybe a vice (i just gave away a vice too :). I got a box of Barnes 275 copper and some 245gr hornady lead/copper to start with.

Loads I think I am getting h110 seems a little less pressure spike vs lil gun range seems to be 33-40+gr for people but I will start low. I do have a chrono so can test it.
