For Mike Bell, Check your C.O.L. and load a dummy round to find out where the projo hits the lands then drop back a little. Just because there is a cannilure doesn't mean that is where you load it to. Also shouldn't have to crimp.

Just remember your magazine box length dictates how far you can set the bullet off the lands, unless you want to possibly wind up with a single-shot rifle the first day of deer season like I did once............I learned my lesson real quick.

My old Savage 110 loves the good old Hornady Interlock 100 gr bullet over 40.5 gr if IMR 4350. This load is no where near the max load, is extremely accurate (in my rifle) and drops deer like lightening. This rifle/load combo has accounted for about 25 deer now and only 1 needed a second anchoring shot.
