What are you guys using for OAL length for this, and what powder charge have you found to be the most accurate with 231? Any input would be appreciated.

I load these bullets to 1.130 in length. I do not use 231 despite my having tons of it. I have yet to get an acceptable load in anything using it. I load 5.5 grs Unique and get groups at 1" at 25 yds out of my Baby Eagle.

If you want a nice light plinkin round, Go with 3.3 gr Bullseye with a Min oal of 1.150 Otherwise for your Win 231 go with 3.3 gr start and 4.0 Max with a Min. oal of 1.095 Hope this helps.
