Hodgdon load data used 45.5gr with a W-W case for a 150 NBT, while I am using the thicker Lapua case, but I'm also using a longer OAL than their data. They made 2,870fps from a 24" barrel, so the data is fairly "real world".

Pretty much using the same load from Hodgdon. Settled on H-4895 because I found an 8lb jug during this shortage, and it will work in 243 win, 257 Roberts, and 308 win......
