Using up the last of these today, picked up 500 of them at an estate sale a few years back for $3.75. Some of the anvils are swelled out a little which makes feeding on the LnL a little finicky. But, every one goes "Bang", so for that price I will deal with it.

Well, my bench time to range time ratio is definitely off, and it is raining again this morning so, I guess it is back to the bench. I think I'll pull one out that I haven't shot in a few years, the 220 Swift. I landed some 50gr Z-Max a year or so ago and I'd like to see how they do for me. I need a few range trips to get caught up, lol.

I am definitely in the same boat that you are. I have so many things I need to shoot, test, unload, before I can continue or start any projects.
The 50gr vmax is a favorite of mine in the swift, I’ve never tried the zmax, what powders are you trying out?

It has literally been years since I reloaded anything for this rifle. This is a group I shot back in 1995, then in 1997 I had a case rupture because I didn't understand at that time about shooting in the July heat. Had a little cut off the barrel and re-chambered and had a lot of good groups since then. Also, it's taken down it's fair share of PA groundhogs. I will definitely try BL-C2 again and I've had good success with Varget and H4895 as well. My record notebook from back then got wet somewhere along the line and some of my records are illegible at this point so it's kinda like starting over again.
