Re: Anybody loading 220 SMKs over reloader 22? 300 win
69.5grs. of RL22 with a 220gr. bullet gets me 2775 fps from a 26.5" bbl. Not the fastest but is very accurate. I noramlly settle on the load that gets me really good accuracy instead of seeing if I can get a few more fps.
Re: Anybody loading 220 SMKs over reloader 22? 300 win
Good news! I loaded 3 rounds each of 67, 68, 69, 69.5, 70, 70.5, 71, 71.5, 71.8, and 72 . Smk 220s over rl22 in win cases. should be a good first day. Merry Christmas!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: REELDOC</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What OAL are you loading to? Did you back off the lands? </div></div>Coal is 3.54", ogive is 2.97" kissing the lands, ie when I chamber a dummy round I get one groove mark. So does it make sense to back off the lands a little and look for a bigger powder charge?
Thanks!
