okay backstrap, what works for my rifle will very well might work your rifle and then might not. The great joy of reloading is experimenting with a particular bullet, say a Nosler Partition 130grainer and taking a powder like RL19 which works wonderfully with alot of calibers and finding the "sweet spot". You of course find your COL and begin with them numbers and/or your mag well length as to long of bullet will not fit the mag-most manuals will give you a measurement of how much to back of the lands. Some .020" and with Barnes it is .050" off the lands.
No rifle is the same but I will recommend RL19 [email protected]@3307fps per Nosler Manual fifth edition. I like Winchester primers --pretty consistent and groups well too. Do not exceed max load. good shootin.
