[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2536071, member: 26077"] You are shooting a case that is way over bore. Like the 7 RUM, they do not react well to light loads. These are not the cases to be messing around with. If you read published load data almost all of it specifically warns you not to go below published minimums, and in many cases for certain powders there is no min, only one published load. Unless you have pressure trace equipment I would not be winging it with 26, 28 Nosler, & 7 RUM etc. I would consider RL50 and even BMG too fast a powder for that heavy a bullet in that case. Look at the 150 and 140 grain Nosler data, notice how much lower the velocity is than the other two, slower burning powders listed 896 and LRT, and you are going up another 10 and 20 grains in bullet weight.
