Not sure how to post (or even access) the load data, but here is my first experiment with the 200FTX
Lil Gun - 38.0gr
Once fired Hornandy Cases - 1.693
No chamfering or deburring
Tumbled cases
Flash hole uniformed, pocket cleaned
No Expander die
Primer - CCI 400
COAL - 2.163-2.165
Taper Crimp - .474
Temp - 51, Windy...18mph
Avg Vel - 2234, High - 2399, Low - 2167 (2399 was wayyyy off the others....chrono error?)
Group size - 3"
NO SOOTING!!! unbelievable!!

2nd set
Lil Gun - 39.5g
Same type of cases - this time case length was 1.695...that's the only difference except the powder charge.
Everything else exact as above.
Avg Velocity - 2327, High - 2357, Low - 2252
Minor Sooting...same as factory ammo

20" Barrel - Factory Bushmaster
Primers looked good as did the brass......Just WISH I had some remmy 71/2 or WSR to try.........
