[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 1039155, member: 17128"] OK If I hear you right, You want to load a case like 50 BMG or larger with an experimental load or powder combination that has not been proofed by someone who does this sort of thing. Seems extremely risky. When I load, I use published load data. Then I find the load the rifle likes best. When the rifle prints sub moa at 200 yards, I'll take it over to the High Power range and stretch its legs a bit. Never needed to modify a powder. So you want to put 110+ grains of a modified powder into a really large piece of brass, load a 300+ grain bullet, and squeeze the trigger? If you survive, please let us know how this turned out.
