[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2545823, member: 27307"] When we tested these first loads on the Weatherby case, I found some .510, 600 grain Woodleigh Protected Point WeldCore 10B, which have always shot well in other cases. But one of the attendees want to bring his young son and asked if there was a slightly milder load he could try shooting. I ordered some Woodleigh .510, 440 grain RNSP ostensibly used for the 500 Black Powder Express. Over IMR-3031, I found a mild but accurate load for the young man to try. He actually fired 4 rounds with aplomb then asked for another to try. All I had left was the 600 gr. full house loads. Oh well! I handed him one and he loaded the rifle while I moved to just behind him. Upon firing, the rifle muzzle described an arc up to about 45 degrees while the young man made 5 steps backwards where I broke his rearward movement. Yes, he held onto the rifle!:eek:;) The smile on his face was incredible!:) Build on whatever case suits your fancy and enjoy the shooting! :D [/QUOTE]
