[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1202205, member: 5219"] I know it is fast. I hope anyone trying the load works up carefully. We seasoned handloaders know that each rifle is an individual and performance can vary. I believe the reason it is fast is moly coated bullets, RL-33, 3 groove barrel, its length and the barrel is quite worn. It has close to 1000 rounds through it. It looks horrible when viewed with the bore scope so I know it might be partially washed out helping to mitigate pressure. It still shoots with bullet holes touching at 100 yds but it will foul after 20 or so rounds and it a real PITA to clean. Throat angle is not Weatherby's but 1 1/2 degrees and it is shorter so I am capable of getting close. Magazine constraints had the 115 Bergers jumping .100'' to the lands. [/QUOTE]
