I'm always looking for new loads for my Waters. What do you have ?

In jacketed 130 Sierra over 34.0 IMR 4064. For Boolits 130 Lee's sized .285 lubed with carnuba red over 18.5 gr. of SR 4759 or 10.5 gr. of unique / 160 Lyman # 287641 .285" CR lube over 17.5 gr. SR 4759 . I've ran those 2 boolits with H322 and had good results . With 4759 vanishing I'm going to work up some with RL7. I also had a good load for 120 sierra's over 3031 but I'll have to dig thru some notes to find it. All these in 14"

In my 14" bbl, 120 sierra Ph seated to 2.800" over 35.0 grains of RL15. Dead accurate. However, I have yet to be able to get the published velocities in this particular caliber. Always a bit slow. As always, start with less powder and work your way up to checking for pressure signs.

I'm loading 35-1/2 grains of Varget with a Hornady 120 SSP seated to a COL of 2.82, which is .015 off the lands in my MGM pistol barrel. The easiest loadwork I've done, first time out and it shot a tight cloverleaf at 50 yards. I said good 'nuff.
