Well, I have my upper. I loaded three different cartridges. 220gr RN at 12.5gr H110, 220gr BTHP MatchKings w/ 12.5gr H110 and 165gr Ballistic Tips at 17.6gr. I based my charges off of information a friend of mine had. As Lawfficer will probably notice, the 165s were over charged. I'm not sure where my friend got his numbers but the 165 that I fired did pop the primer. I am going to be pulling them and reloading them. Interestingly, neither of the 220s were subsonic. I don't have a chrony yet so I'm not sure what their speed is. I'm looking forward to getting some shooting in. I also have all of the parts to make brass en mass. A friend made an extension shell holder and a trim die from a Grade 8 Bolt for me so I can use my rapid trim. Anyway, got to run.
