A quick note of thanks Gwion for your Trail Boss info on 50gr Zmax loads, I tried out two loads 8grs and 8.5 grs this morning under what could best be described as a slightly breezy crosswind. The results look promising and still need tweaking. Currently using CCI 400 primers. Cheers

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead, it's only difficult for the others,
it's the same when you are stupid.

No worries DK.
I found the 450 primers definitely made the load more consistent.

Thanks Gwion, I have a box of the 450's my LGS sold me by mistake, I'll give them a try. Cheers
