[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 138234, member: 1290"] With anything but Weatherby brass you will be leaving 100 fps on the table due to the less case capacity. Rem nickel brass comes close as it is much harder but you need to back off the charge and work up. I use 85.5 grains of IMR7828 or 83.5 of IMR-7828SSC in real Weatherby brass with CCI-250 primers. Be carefull, across the board I have found the 7828SSC powder makes more pressure. OAL is 3.700". Velocity is right at 3100+/- a few depending on the temp. In a 24" Vangard and non Weatherby brass you should still be able to get close to 2900 to maybe 3000 fps with 200 grain bullets. Mine is a real shooter. I only PFL size after 10 or more firings. The rest of the time the Lee Neck die is all I use. Never seen a bulged case or ever had any issues due to the belt. Be sure to back off my load and work up. Every rifle is different. [/QUOTE]
