load date needed-220 Russian (Beggs)

[butchlambert]

I will be shooting 52 grn. bullets

 

[longbow]

25 gr...LT-32 have done very well with it, tight neck, might want to start at 24gr.....I fireformed at 22 gr and shot a perfect match for score at last match ! 100 yds

I finally threw out the 150 brass shot thru two guns for eight years! Figured I got my use out of them.....

I've had a few bbls that like 26.0 or a tad north of that with LT32 but that is on the warm side. About 3600 or so fps.

You probably won't get longbow's brass life up there. FWIW, I had a reamer made that is .001 fatter than Gene's 2nd gen Beggs. It works great and no clickers. I'm sure brass life is reduced to some degree but I'm also sure the load has a lot more to do with that.

Many of the serious competitors use LT32 but I got
the best results with Bemchmark.

Just about every powder I used did well but Benchmark
was the top choice-----this was in a time when N133 was
scarce.

Maybe I can some day revisit this with N133.

I might also try H4198 as I have about 10ibs of a good 92 lot.

Im sure it'll do well but even Gene eventually came around to love the LT32 in it.
