[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2637887, member: 26077"] I use Hodgdon Data because they tend to be agnostic. I have a 257 bee and had a 25 06. I know my load development data shows no more than 200 fps difference, both are 26 inch barrels, even on the light bullets. I do however keep my loads below the ragged edge on all loads because I want reliable hunting rounds that extract well in all temperatures. I have a lot of Weatherby cartridges and do really love them, but they just aren't what I would make a 20 inch mountain rifle out of. Guy has to take max advantage of what a cartridge capacity provides and 70 grains of powder out of a 22 inch barrel isn't doing that but to each their own. I never tell others they have to do what I do, just try to help by providing my hands on experience vs what is so often Google info. [/QUOTE]
