[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 2343576, member: 24854"] This is an excellent point. I had a friend several months ago give me a box of reloaded 338 Win Mag. I took it, never intending to fire it, but I figured I would take them apart and salvage the components. I pulled and weighed the bullets which were 250 grain soft points and out of curiosity weighed the powder charge. I am reasonably confident I identified the powder as IMR 4350 which corresponded with the label on the box. What unnerved me was it was 11-12 grains lower than any charge in all the load data I looked at which included 6 recent manuals and several manuals reaching back as far as 35 years. Knowing that a severely undercharged round can be as dangerous as an overcharge, I’m glad someone else didn’t get a hold of these rounds and just assume they were ok and shot them. Also, it wasn’t only one or two, every single round were the same. [/QUOTE]
