forming 300 blk casings from 223 brass (for now i’ll only be using LC stamps). i’ll be using a dillon rt1500, with the gsi toolhead and trim dies, on an xl750. i’ll have a separate toolheads for prep/sizing and for loading. these will be plinking rounds.
i just want to verify that i’m going about finding the loading data correctly.
bullets (based off a recommendation on 300blktalk forum):

loading data based on my powder (Hodgdon CFE BLK) and bullet info:

berry’s recommends a COAL of 2.550″, while hodgdon’s is 2.235″ i’m assuming i go with 2.235″ yes?
i was going to go with 19gr of powder. thoughts?
