Well, I loaded up some test rounds today and I'll go to the range tomorrow at lunch time and see how they shoot in my gun. I have a COL of 1.265, and charges of 4.8, 5.0, 5.2, and 5.4 under Winchester 230 FMJ RN bullets. As soon as the recoil becomes snappy/loud and different from the factory loads, I'll stop, since at this point I'm only trying to duplicate factory. I'll also watch the spent brass.

Thanks, everyone, for the help and information. This forum is a valuable resource, and I hope to contribute to it as I gain experience.
