[QUOTE="jreagle, post: 677233, member: 40992"] Hello, this is my first post here after many months of gathering information and getting a feel for the community. So far am enjoying the experience! Having not been reloading or shooting much in the last ~12-15 years and now getting back into it, Ive noticed that in looking at several loading manuals and the various editions, new and older, comparing loads from the same mfgrs editions; there seems to be up to a 5 grain difference between the published starting loads and max loads for a 300 wby bullet. with almost any powder. For this example say a 180 gr bullet in front of imr4350, imr7828 or RL22. i was wondering if there is a reason for the discrepancy (later editions with a reduction in powder volumes) in the data published for weatherby over the years? the reason the question becomes more glaring is that in comparing the same manuals, a 30-06 load (say 180 gr w/ imr 4350), is shown within less than a grain difference powder charge (min and max) comparing between the older edition and the newer edition reloading manual while weatherby 300 is nearly and in some cases 5 gr difference. this seems perplexing to me. any insight here is most appreciated.
