You are not regulating the rifle, hopefully that has already been done by the maker. You are making a load that shoots to the regulation. Symantecs but important for understanding. This is my load. Rifle: Alex Henry Bullet: 400 grain Woodleigh Charge: 81 grains IMR 4831 Primer: Federal 215 Velocity: 2125 fps Group: 1/2" @ 50 yards this is from Ray Atikinson. Another good load is 71.5 grs. of RL-15 with 3 grs. of dacron and a 400 gr. bullet...For the 3" version just leave the dacron out....Fed 215 and Bell, RWS cases.... Welcome back Judge.  | |||

I use Ray's load and Mickey's ,,but at 80 grains, If you contact Bill @ BIll's Accuracy SHop on the estern shore of Maryland he has some loads worked up, also,, both smokeless and BP Stay Alert,Stay Alive Niet geschoten is altijd mis Hate of America is the defeat position of failed individuals and the failing state | |||

Is this a new or old rifle? I would suggest that you use RL-15 plus filler in an older Cordite proofed rifle. Here is a link to the article that elaborates on the process. Reloading the Nitro Express Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
