I am currently working on a reduced recoil load for my daughter and her single shot Rossi .223.
I am using H-4895, R-P cases trimmed to 1.752, CCI 400 primer, Hornady 55gn V-Max. I am using a powder charge of 16.5 per Hodgdons instructions for making a reduced recoil load (called them).
Question is, if I make the OAL to short and need to back it out a tad, can I use my kinetic bullet puller and tap it few times to back it out a bit and then set the bullet to the correct OAL or do I need to completely pull the bullet and start from square one?
I am using an OAL of 2.238. OAL in the book is 2.250, but I know her gun will shoot an OAL of 2.240 safely and with the reduced load I figured the 2.238-2.240 OAL would not cause over pressure. I made a round and the OAL was 2.225 and I wanted to back it out a bit to the 2.238-2.240 OAL.
Any and all advice appreciated.
