I have a load for my 1964 L461 222 24" barrel
Vit130 21.5gr, 50gr Sierra SP (1330) CCI400.
I was using a Bushnell Trophy scope 3-9x40 which really was not upto the job at 100 yards.
I now have a better scope (Meopta) so I will be going to the range when the wind is minimal to do more testing to find the optimal OAL.
Currently the OAL is 0.050" off the lands.
The COAL, is measured at 1.861" so the round is set to an OAL of 1.811" to the ogive.
I would be interested to know other reloaders OAL figures as a guidance to see if my testing mirrors theirs.
Allowing for the fact that all guns are different and so the OAL figure is intrinsic to that gun.
Thanks for any input.
Jack
