Hi, RD -

I'm still full time employed, so I don't have the time to cast. So, I use commercially available projectiles. For this first batch of 32s, I used 165 grain Hornady FTXs with the tube friendly flex tips, .321".

I'm not a hunter, but a recreational target shooter. So, I picked a mid-range load of 32 grains of 4064 for 100 yard target shooting. 2.560" COL.

Can't wait to try them out!

Good grief , you can't believe what I read there ! 3 times no less .
Everybody has their own thing , so I'm reading 5.56x 45 Long Colts and have this visual of a really short 22-250 rimmed ........ Maybe a 22 Scramjet ........ The 4th time it clicks , 5.56 NATO in Lake City brass ........ The heat is getting to me already to day .

You just came up with something cool sounding. Maybe that's how the .357SIG was invented.

Made 50 rounds of reduced loads for my 308 using 10 grains of Unique with a 170 grain bullet powder coated blue. This is a fun load for plinking with a mild recoil.
