By the way, in choosing a powder to begin loading with, I look for one that nearly fills the case (high loading density), combined with high velocity potential, where accuracy is shown to be best with the maximum loading of that powder. ( This criteria is for hunting loads.) After cross-referencing, IMR 7828 looks like a great place to start with 180 grain Noslers in the .300 Weatherby. I would start with 76 grains, and load 5 rounds for testing. Be sure to crimp, and see that the primers are seated below the head of the case AND bottomed out in the primer pocket. Holler when you want me to shut up.<p>[This message has been edited by Loud Cloud (edited March 24, 2001).]
