[QUOTE="USCGLongBow, post: 962509, member: 81191"] If it were me I would start at 100 or 101gr and work up a grain at a time. I'm going by the 106 from the Alliant website, and I just always reduce by a little till I'm sure it works in my gun. My guess, based on experience with Berger and similar weighted bullets I shoot in other calibers, is that you will be able to use 106gr with out pressure issue if you want to. I don't want to load to 106gr because you are running out of room in the neck at that point, so for my use I'm stopping at 105gr of RL33 in all my 338RUM loads. I haven't played with RL33 with anything heavier than 200gr Nos BTs yet, but I picked up a box of 265gr LRX today, and will probably load and test next week. [/QUOTE]
