So are you saying if it's printed somewhere it must be true?

I just grabbed the 49th edition of the Lyman reloading handbook, it's what was handiest. Page 172, 257 Weatherby

87g Jacketed SP
H-4831
max 73.0g
3731 fps

8g more of the same powder, pushing the same bullet and your getting 189fps more out of the same length tube? Lots of variables and you read about zero free-bore and such, but again it must be true because everything wrote down has to be true.

I'll be the first to admit I'm far from an expert on anything when it comes to guns or reloading, but sarcastic posts are getting to be an all to frequent thing around here. And I didn't think Marks response was bad at all, the follow up to it sounds like it should go into the Gun Shop BS thread located somewhere else.
