IMR 4227/XTP seem to be a winning combo. With a 20" barrel, i did not find any unburned kernel and no soot on my cases.

Since i live in Canada, i cannot ship all 4 boxes to the US in order Federal to examine those ammo...
All 19 caryridges fit easylly inside my gun. The one sticking out of my gauges caused problem when closing the bolt and extracting.

On 20 of them, 5 does not fit in both gauges. Some fits in the gauge, but stick when the gauge is...
What about pressure? For this load, 7 grains of W244, will be max 16 600 psi for 200 lead round nose. But, since the oal is shorter, as per other user had written here, pressure will be negligible?
