[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 962512, member: 33822"] Thanks guys! All off this is great info. I think to be ultra safe, I will back off to 98 grains of RL33 just for the first 10 shoot-clean-shoot-clean break-in shots. Then increment from there for an initial velocity/pressure ladder. You all have mentioned that RL33 is not ideal (too slow) for the 250 grain pills, but I'm at least going to give it a try. Always a game to find the most accurate combination of seating depth and powder charge, but I'm hoping the 250 Elite Hunter with its hybrid design is less sensitive to seating depth than the classic Berger VLD's. Will still be a couple months before I get the rifle ready to shoot, but I'll make sure to post up my results. I have a couple of pounds of RL25 as well so will be fun to compare. [/QUOTE]
