I just got 3 boxes of these bullets and am loaded for the test bench tomorrow if possible.
IMR 4198 is my powder choice. It is the first time I am using this stuff. It doesn't fill the case very well so I hope it works ok. Lyman manual gives 25.0-28.0 gr. for this bullet. (Sierra #2020)
I am using R-P cases and Federal LR primers. COAL is 2.240".
My loads are incremented .5 gr. Low end load is 25.5 gr. Top load is 27.5gr. 10 each. I will sight in with factory loads, then shoot 5 shot groups at 50 yards to compare groups. If all is well, I will move to the 100 yard targets and check out the groups from there. Hopefully these little pot knockers will work for coyotes and ***** out to 100 yards. They're cheap enough for me to get more for stock if I like them.
I will be posting results and pictures as soon as I can get the testing done.
