[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 989867"] It boils down to willing to try what works or go it alone. I invested a great deal of time, barrel life and money figuring out Weatherby's and copper. I will do a comparison: The long range and competitive shooters using 260 Remington will shoot 140 grns bullets over H4350 with Fed 210M primers. Those who deviate from the recipe spend time, barrel life and money to find an alternative that might work as well sometimes but when the temperature changes they are hosed. Is this a 6 lug or 9 lug Mark V? If it's a 6 lug then something is not right about what you have told us. Otherwise... 1) If that magazine length really only allows 3.34 then get it fixed. Not a single one of mine came from Weatherby that way. 2) There is an article from the way back time about loading barns, much longer COAL than I do and with a custom crimp. Crimp not necessary so I ignored that part. 3) You want to get some of the 'bearing surface' of the bullet into the free bore. 4) Roy's philosophy was long free bore, to ease bullet release and seating/obturation into the lands, keeping the pressures containable with his hot loads. You might try the 129grns LRX Barnes, I have not yet. IMO The 140 and 150grns TXS is not going to work. [/QUOTE]
