[QUOTE="jmden, post: 287426, member: 1742"] Yes, one crucial piece of info about my load is that it is a cold weather load created for November elk hunting. 104g may not work well at 60F degrees. I keep these in the cooler at about 35F if its not about 40F or below. Sorry I forgot to mention that specifically. When I said 97 or 99 grains, I was thinking in about 40F temps or below. However... If that is the necked down 338 Lap case, which the OP says it is, that case, as I understand it, and many attest to, is a much stronger cae than the RUM case, although the SAAMI loads don't reflect that. I get a case capacity of 114g H2O for the Lap case which puts it at pretty much exactly the same capacity as the RUM case. With it's extra strength, it should hold a RUM load, at appropriate temps, just fine. [/QUOTE]
