I use Redding dry lube on the inside of the necks if it is new brass, but if it already has carbon on it, it may not be necessary since its not that big of a jump. I will also lube the outside of the case just to make it as easy as possible. Make sure that your shoulder/neck junction gets...
Very good condition Marlin Model 883SS 22 WMR Stainless. JM stamped barrel with Simmons 3-9 scope and open sights.
$600 shipped to your FFL from an individual.
$550 without the scope.
Here’s one of the ballistic calculators I use frequently.
Estimate a loss of 25fps per inch of barrel you take off. For out to 500 yards, I think most bullets around 150gr would get you there with a 16” barrel. To get out to 600, you may need to only go 18”. If you throw a faster twist barrel...
Probably RL17 just from a quick peek at QL. If it were me, I would start at around 48gr and work up. Looks like a compressed load will get about 50fps higher than Lever or CFE223 at 62,000 psi depending on your barrel length.
Lots of unknown variables here. we know brass was different and Nosler is seating slightly deeper, but we do not know:
Barrel make for Hodgdon
Difference in Nosler data for BT and AB, if any. Could be AB hits max sooner and so published data reflects that.
We don’t know when the testing was...
I usually start with the bullet I want to use, then plug that into Quickload to figure out what powder I want to use out of what I have, then cross check with published load data to make sure that my numbers are not wildly off. Sometimes that ends up in line with bullet manufacturers preferred...
