I need to start doing the same, so I'd be interested in hearing of any recipes. Flat, what are you shooting in this caliber? I've got a 1924 FSR m96 target rifle with Elit sights that shoots lights-out with Swedish surplus :thumb:

Seems like a lot of guys really like RL22 in this round. There also appears to be a big push for high quality Euro brass (Lapua). I picked up some Winchester brass just to get started and some 140 gr Hornady soft points. Now I just gotta get some dies and large rifle primers.

One of the issues I may encounter is that I don't know the barrel twist in my rifle. It is a sporterized Husqvarna but with an aftermarket barrel. Most are 1-9 but there are some available in different twists.
