[QUOTE="mtJim, post: 2415550, member: 121886"] I'm just switching to the absolutes in couple of rifles and looking for some advice. I'm going to try the 139gr in a 270 Weatherby and the 73gr in a 22 creedmoor gas gun. Any suggestions on starting powders/burn ranges? When they say the absolutes like a fast powder, is it fast for caliber, or whole nother burn range fast? I'm thinking H4831 range for the weatherby, but could go H4350 or even H414. For the creedmoor I was thinking something in the H4350 range, or up to H414, could even go IMR4064. Powders I have are IMR4064, H414/W760, IMR4350, H4350, StaBall, Ramshot Hunter, H4831SC, MRP, Magpro. Another question, is neck tension a substitute for crimp? I found a Lee Factory crimp die for the weatherby, but haven't been able to find one for the creedmoor. Would a smaller bushing be sufficient, or would a 22-250 crimp die work on the creedmoor? Thanks [/QUOTE]
