question on how to find the right load

[HPBTMTCH]

Scooterman, the bullet should be seated so that the base, and the bottom of the neck are about the same, but i have had a few rifles that shot best when just barely seated into the case, but it`s probably best not to go more than half way out. Ask rocky about bullet seating. The 700 is limited to magazine lenght, but the encore being single shot is not. Moly coated bullets seem to shoot best when touching the lands, and even jammed a few thousanths. Another problem with moly bullets is inconsistent bullet pull if you don`t clean the inside of the case necks every time before you load them. Make sure they are nice and shiny. You can get the sample powder pack (i forget what hodgdon calls them) anywhere you buy hodgdon powder. They may have to order it, just make sure it comes with their regular order so you don`t get hit with the $15 haz mat charge. I don`t know if it`s a reaction to the barrel steel, or moisture or what, but it will rust if you let it set for a few days, that i know. However, it does`nt seem to bother stainless.
