    Use the XTP bullets and the H110 powder. How old is that 296 in the metal can?

      It's like a million years old but it smells and looks just fine. I loaded up 20 rounds of 300AAC 220 grain subs with it just last night. if there is a problem with it, this may be my last post.

        Looks like you have the makings for some decent rounds, just remember - MORE POWER. The Blue Dot, H296 and H-110 are good. The AA #9 is nice, but like a conservative proper sitting on the couch sort of way. Soft around the edges, it is the gentlemans' powder, where H-110/W296 just wanna blow the roof off something. Winchester primers are fine too. The ONLY time I ever heard of any theoretical danger was when you use H-110 /W296 without a Magnum primer. BUT, I heard that after I had already loaded a few hundred and shot them... Sooo, secondary detonation might not be what some folks think it is... Swaging bullets is easy, but you need a strong press. With a single stage though you can resize, and resize and resize bullets, but depending on how you do it, it might just be better to get a mold and cast your own. Ultimately it might be cheaper if you do a large volume.
