A set of Redding competition shell holders might save you a world of work having several rifles of the same cartridge. Just make a note of which shell holder gives proper shoulder set back for that particular rifle.
Any 4350 powder will get you close. I have a box of these but haven't tried them yet. I pulled the tip out of one and the jacket is pretty thin. Will probably be an explosive bullet. I guess I should give them a try this season. Let us know your results.
I put a $70 truglo on the 10 inch ruger mk iv today and zeroed with cci std vel. All the 2 shot groups were less than a quarter inch and then shot a 12 shot group that came out 9/16s.at 25 yards. I'm pretty sure it will shoot a good deal better than I can.
In my experience H or imr 4350 .010 off the lands soirra bullets. Some rifles do best with 150 gr bullets. For hunting I use sierras 150s and 165s .the 165 bthp game king will usually get you to the lands if it has a long throat.
