   The 7.87mm/.310 200grn FMJ rebated BT's arrived today. My one and only loaded test subject has been loaded with exactly 39.9grns of NORMA 202 smokeless powder,primed with WLRM primers, and seated to an overall case length of 3.0505". The one photo shows a sharpie pen mark just below the shoulder of the cartridge case,indicating the fill level of the powder and shows that the base of the bullet sits just above that line when seated to the above described C.O.L.. This is going to workout just fine...

	My faux No4 T rifle. I might run a few through the one I just finished putting the Sile stock set on just for $#!ts and giggles. I have that one dialed in for the 215grn Woodleigh so to see where a bullet that is 15grns lighter hits will be interesting to note...

	Looking forward to results, Goosic! My bet, FWIW, is that these will shoot a Tad lower than the 215 Gr. W's.
