 Log my ,,, foot ,,, I need a tree !!! up here this morn'n the wind and temp are even steven ,, 30+,, be in the teens tonite. Great day to do some brass cleaning and reloading. I think i'v settled on 1.88 for case length ( 40-60 win. ) w/ 403168 ( Lyman ) and 26.8 gr. of H-4198 ,, I only mention this cause say you may try some,, max load for ( 403168 ) is about 28gr. ( 49 th. edition Lyman). Barnes ,in COTW ,, stated 21gr. Imr-4198 w/ 403168 ,, produced 1520-1560fps ??? Lyman 49th. 40-60 win. ,, starts at 22gr. ,, go figure .

 Hey ,, Hey !!! been challenged  to a 500yd. shoot w/ my 76 ,, " I'm on it ". Work'n on loads now ,, " THEY " will be using old military rifles ,, ww1-ww2 ,, open & peep sights . The Lyman 403168, 200-210gr. will drop about 60" at 500yds. no problem ( ya right ),, impact sound will be about 2+.( something ) secs. One of the other shooters has a camera set down by the " impact area " we can see the hits on their  smarty- elic phones  ( or whatever they are called ) ,, saves a lot of walking.

 coffee's boil'n ,, Hootmix.

500 Yd's , My goodness , don't think your worries will be the drop . That can be allowed for , it's that dang wind that;s going to be the big problem . Hope you get a no wind day Amigo . Good luck at your shoot .,,,DT
