[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1118062, member: 85389"] TC338, Our 250 and 300 grain ELITE HUNTER BULLETS are longer so you MAY get into pressure issues depending on how the rifle barrel is throated. Or how close the base of the bullet is to the powder column. So we are rather conservative in our loads for safety reasons. Since these bullets are Hybrid design. I suggest that for hunting load testing is that you start at .005 off the lands and work back in .005 increments at the lowest powder charge listed for the bullet/powder/cartridge combination you are testing for. Once you find the seating depth accuracy node. Work you load back up checking for pressure signs and accuracy. Also make sure the forend of the rifle is free floated.
