If you would like more accurate data, for a specific powder, weigh a FIRED, empty case from your rifle, then fill that same case with water, all the way till it will not hold anymore. Weigh that. Give me the difference, that is the overall case capacity in water. That can be used to give a more accurate charge recommendation with QL. Running the program only takes a few seconds, so if you need something specific hit me up, happy to assist. Scotty
I have just started reloading for a new Weatherby Mark V 340 Weatherby with 26" barrel. My first sighting-in loads were with 250 Barnes TSX FB (3.660 COAL) and 250 Swift A Frame (3.620 COAL). Powder was Reloader 22 and charge weights were 83-85g. Was still getting familiar with the rifle so was not shooting for best group accuracy. Once sighed in was practicing on clay pidgeons at 100 yards and was hitting them well.
Put a 2-7x33mm Leupold VX-R firedot scope on it. Working up loads and practice for shots up to 100 yards in prep for a fall 2014 coastal brown bear hunt.
I've used r33 in 30378 with 165 gr horaday spire point had great success I d try r23 or 22 or map in a 300weatherbyIt's been a while and I've done a bit of bench work but not satisfied with my accuracy. It's hovering at 1-1/2 moa. I've tried RL-19, RL-22, 7828ssc, and Win 760. Bullets at 265 and 285 gr.
Does anybody have load data for RL-33? Being developed for large magnums, it has some potential. They post data for the 300 WBY and 338 Lapua. I can extrapolate, but would prefer otherwise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
