The plan is to create two loads, a reduced practice load using H4895 and a 180 gr boat tail and a full snot load with ether the 200 gr Partition or the 180gr Partition. My rifle doesn't seem to care for the 200s but loves the 180s so no big deal. I have killed 10 or 12 elk with the gun and load so I know it is setting him up right. My rifle really likes H4831 for whatever reason but I have a fresh pound of RL22 ready to go to try as well. Like you said once they have been shot in the gun I just neck size the brass so we will have to keep his brass separate from mine. Trying to have him a supply of both loads will be greatly helped with Robb's offer, I have a few new cases to spare but not enough to set him up with a good supply of both..

My brother doesn't reload (although he wants to learn) and is a disabled vet from head trauma issues who has just gotten into big game hunting hard here in the last two years. I have been trying to get a day where he can get up here to the house and do the loading with me but it looks like I will just have to get some rounds loaded for him to get going this year. It's the least I can do for him I figure. We are going to hunt deer and antelope for sure this year and I may go on his elk hunt just depending on how the season shakes out...
