[QUOTE="Snowrun, post: 1171247, member: 60048"] I am loading up some rounds for my rifle(BrowningA-bolt/PacNor 28" bbl) while it is at McMillan for stock fitting. I am using Nosler brass & 250grain Accubonds. Hodgdon's online load data goes from 95-101 grains. Loads are compressed at starting charge of 95 grains & quite compressed at 97. I haven't gone any further. I know I will get a bit more space after fire forming but how much? I'd hate to have to burn up barrel life fire-forming & the Cream of Wheat method sounds like a bit of a mess. Appreciate any advice. I should add that I have H4831 & H4350 on hand should I switch to 225grainers or I may have to try to find 300grain bullets for the Retumbo?? [/QUOTE]
