I am going to work up a load using Weatherby brass, CCI 250 primers, RL22 powder and 165 gr. Barnes TSX bullets.

I have consulted a number of reloading manuals and data sources, all with varying numbers as to maximum powder charge. They range from 82.5 gr. in Barnes #1 manual, to a maximum of over 87 grains in Hornady data!

As usual, I work upwards, but this great variation is puzzling.

Any practical experience with using this combo?

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
