Hi All...Thanks to the help rec'd here on this great forum I am now able to finally have a great hunting load for my Ed Brown Marine Sniper...I switched from Nosler cases to Lapua cases....switched from Fed 210Match primers to CCI BR2...bullet is Nosler 165gr. Partition loaded to 2.795" which puts the OGIVE .005" back from the lands....3/4" is as close as I can hold with these 60yr. old eyes.... the groups are tighter and more rounded with NO fliers...not bad for these partitions which were driving me nuts this last month in my quest for a fairly heavy bullet load for the black bear population explosion we are experiencing here in south-east NY State...THANKS TO ALL, especially Antelopesniper...!!!

You are very welcome Sargenty, I'm always glad to help. Your load should be very good bear medicine.
