[QUOTE="SkunkedAgain, post: 3036002, member: 127677"] Howdy All, Working on making a copycat load for my father-in-law. He shoots Barnes VOR-TX, 150 gr TTSX out of his 300 WM. He hadn't found any in a while so I thought Id try my hand at making something similar, if not the same. Muzzle velocity is 3285 fps from the factory rounds. Hopefully once I can find primers I can set up an ACME style montage of loading a couple hundred. Thought I'd start with IMR 4350 and then move to H4831SC if I can't get a consistent load around 3290 fps. If both those don't work out I have some H4350. Any pointers? I managed to squirrel away one of his few rounds for bullet seating, any thoughts on measuring out the powder? I've heard manufacturers us custom powders so measuring the amount won't tell you anything, but wasn't sure if that applies to ALL of them. [/QUOTE]
