[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1090361, member: 90674"] That's a large difference in starting load, maybe more than most. This frustrates me as well. QuickLoad data is also all over the place. The burn rate factor will likely be off, and requires calibration for most powders. Guys typically calibrate all sorts of things in QL, the guys on the Nosler forum talked about this quite a bit. I think all this data just needs to be interpreted as a guide line. The best thing you have to go off of is chronograph measurements from you own rifle. If a book lists a load as "most accurate" try hitting that velocity, and it might very well be the most accurate. But the charge weight will likely not be the same. A chronograph will also let you know if you are stepping over on pressure. That being said, I've used the Nosler manual for "most accurate load" and they did work very well. At least for hunting accuracy (1MOA or slightly less). [/QUOTE]
