[QUOTE="DTF370, post: 2617007, member: 115086"] Remember, all chambers can differ. Willys suggested starting at 99gr of N570 which I don’t disagree with, however in my rig 99gr is approaching pressure limits. Below are max pressures for my 338 LM AI chamber, interpolate as needed: 300gr berger 101 gr N570 285gr ELD 100.5 gr Retumbo 285gr ELD 100 gr N570 250gr berger 98 gr H1000 300gr A-Tip 99.5 gr N570 These are loaded to CIP magazine length. By no means are these suggestions for you to load, I just wanted to show where my pressure limits are. My numbers are stopping just before my first sign of pressure. Also, I HBN coat my bullets and HBN lube the necks. I will say, this has been the easiest cartridge to get extremely accurate results out of. Maybe it is just my rifle, but I have had phenomenal results. One of my ELD loads has an SD of 2.8fps and ES of 6.8 and will print about .3 moa! [/QUOTE]
