Long Path,
Do you have a favorite powder and/or load to get to that 1300fps? I was kind of leaning towards W296 -- does that powder require magnum primers?

I don't have the Speer manual and yesterday I tried to download the Winchester Reloading guide but for some reason it wouldn't download properly. So, any help there would be greatly appreciated.

I am pretty excited about the idea of taking game with hand-rolled ammo.

Thanks again,
Jack
