[QUOTE="Bhamab, post: 2426259, member: 85111"] I'm very old fashioned and haven't changed many of my loads for classic calibers since reading Jack O'Connor's load recommendations decades ago. However I also load for my son's rifles including a Wby 257, a 375 H&H, and a double 450/400. For ***** and giggles we tried a few loads for his 257 with Hodgdon 50BMG. We were pleasantly surprised. His groups tightened up to bugholes at 200 yards and his velocity spreads were in single digits. We did lose a couple hundred feet of velocity but the 257 with 110 grain Accubonds had ample velocity to begin with so the improved accuracy was a great trade off. I am planning to experiment with the 50BMG powder in a few of my other rifles. I only mention this to see if any of the more experienced forum members have had similar experiences. And have any of you tried using the 50BMG powders as substitutes for the Reloader 15 conversions in the big doubles? [/QUOTE]
