COAL question?
« on: July 18, 2005, 12:59:51 PM »
I have a Handi .223 bull which I measured the OAL to the lands at 2.425. What COAL length should I reload my shells to get best accuracy. I have been reloading them to 2.260. I use  new Winchester or necksized PMP shell with H335 and Nosler 50 gr. BT bullet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks so much quickdtoo. Those links helped. I will try the suggestion as soon as the rain quites, as it has rained every day for the past week and a half. Really put a damper on my shooting.
