i sure hope it will be because they got my buck lol i havent fire formed any brass but i did buy six boxes of factory ammo just for the brass and i can tell ya now the factory stuff in a new 700 adl remington doesnt shoot worth a cuss so after loading the fired brass with what load info i could find on it and only after figuring out that the only way to get a long enough cartridge to touch or even come close to lands i had to go with a berger 50 gr bullet - the 32 and 40 gr just are not long enough to work - now i dont know why its that way or if this short stuff is supposed to work but i find that it does not at all - its all over the place - so i have put the 204 (by the way i bought an encore barrel because the rem wouldnt shoot just to see if maybe it was the remington) but thats not the case seems that both need a longer bullet - now after using moly and bringing the overall case length out to 2.245 it did shoot much better but still not better enough for me to like it so i guess until i see some load data that someone is really happy with i wont buy any new powder for this load - anyone played much yet i sure would like to compare notes
