As for seating depth, I have went longer than the 2.245 listed data - by up to .025" in .005 increments. Accuracy only eroded. I do not care to go any shorter as I am already working with compressed loads. Gave H4895 a try today as well & accuracy Was sub MOA & velocity I find acceptable at 2850ish.
I feel the H4895 load will be good to have to fall back on if the CFE 223 load would not perform satisfactory in the extreme cold weather. H4895 was selected for the colder temps due to the greater temp stability of this propellant. I believe the H4895 is the most stable powder available that is suitable for this application.
Considered Staball match & expect Winchester Staball match may be slower & overly compressed for this application.
So the CFE 223 load will be my plan A load & H4895 will be the plan B load & Plan CD&E are available as well.
