So:
1. Light projectiles........fast powder.......2206H..2208...I have some I use in the Grendel.
2. Heavy projectiles....slow powder....2209........anything else? Powder still a bit scarce though there's a bit coming thru.
3. 120g - 140g projectiles.....barrel twist? 1:8" specified on THE ELD boxes....1:8 works ok for light weights?
4. Seating depth...I work on the principle....if it fits in the magazine and chambers nicely and produces raggy holes...happy days. Just record EVERYTHING. I've been a bit slack lately with my 223 and 204 and it's bitten me on the soft bits.
5. Is there an advantage/disadvantage small primer/large primer.? I figure stick with one, develope a load that works. Too expensive to beat around with this calibre.
The sun is shining again. It is Melbourne, I might just wait a bit....
