[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2160636, member: 26077"] Just take the minimum load for a 265 grain bullet from the Hodgdon website and work up from there. Barnes bullets and the loads for them are not a lot different than cup and core loads, especially at min starting loads. That is what I do for almost all rifles, including the 338-378. With a case that has that much capacity, I would not start below published minimums. In this case, Hodgdon has loads for a Batrnes bullet very close the specific bullet you are interested in. I pasted this from their site.
