[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 2592459, member: 103471"] I locked up my 338-378 Wby.... Went like this: Fire forming new brass w/ 225gr slugs.. Had Hodgdon web site on my phone, scrolling thru 3 different powders I had on hand. Decided to use Powder X, got the start weight, loaded them up. At the range, first and only shot was 2ft high. Had to hammer the bolt open. Turns out I used the charge from a different powder. 20% overcharge. Swelled the chamber .005, iirc. ALOT, anyway. I consider myself very very fortunate, and I'm not likely to do THAT again. [/QUOTE]
