Unfortunately the local gunstore has almost no selection even though they are a major chain store. They were sold out of all primers and .243 brass when I got there and the only suitable powder was Hodgdon Benchmark. So I bought a pound of it and eventually got some brass and primers, but I'm not having any luck with accuracy. I started with 39.0grs and got average 2in. groups @ 100yds. I stepped up to 39.5grs and averaged 1.7, so I have loaded up some with 40.5grs of powder and am hoping for the best. I was wonderin though, the recomended trim-to-length for cases is 2.045in but none of the cases I got were close to that long. Most were 2.038 but I have found some as small as 2.026in. I trim all that I use to 2.035. Also how far should I seat my bullets out? I'm using Nosler 55gr Ballistic Tips of course.
