[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 92243, member: 1290"] My Weatherby's really like Lee Collet dies and neck sizing only. The lighter bullets do seem more accurate in mine. They all shoot better than 1/2 with certain loads. Try some 130 grain triple shocks with a 74 grains of MR-7828 to start. It ought to get them out around 3500 to 3600 at a max load with the longer 28" barrel and it out to be tight shooting. Minimum load with the 7828 is 70 grains. Just seat to the magazine box whatever feeds well. For the same bullet Barnes with RL-25 it calls out 73.5 min and 78.5 max. Both these powders really turn it on in the longer barrels. When my Accumarks grow up they are all getting 30" barrels. Let's see some pictures. I go crazy over tricked out Weatherby's. BTW. I was reading your old posts. I have not had any trouble getting super fine sub 16 ounce triggers out of any Mark 5. No creep or spongyness here. [/QUOTE]
