I guess, not sure what would benifit me from lying about it? Just thought I would try and show you mine fits.

Art is saying that he can't make it fit, not that you are being dishonest.

Didn't say you are lying . just showing you what I'v got . maybe I'll buy some new VV133 and see what it shows . Some people say they shoot 23.5 gr of VV133 and I don't see how .

Sorry about that Art. I guess I took your "I can do that" the wrong way. I certainly have a denser batch, I noticed I have some 223's loaded up with 24.5gr under a 50gr Blitzking also.

If you have a way to do it, I've been able to run a tap down a drop tube and it makes the powder twirl and put more in a case. Of course a very slow drop of the handle helps.

I'm in the middle of a 222 magnum ackley improved build.

Are you going 40* or 45* on the shoulder?

It is the PO Ackley version-40deg. Looking more for less brass growth, not so much for the extra speed. The 222 Mag is known for it's brass growing.

This is 23.1 grains of N133 from Feb 24 in a 222 case with a long drop tube and slow pour. It must have gotten denser over the years.
