[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2181002, member: 100742"] Weatherby Customer service is always very helpful. Older German Rifles generally had a 12 twist. I find H 4831 to be a very useful powder, but in these posts I have read much about using H1000. RL 25 and RL 26 . I used to have a target load just for the shooting range of 76.2 grns of H 4831 with the old Sierra GK in 180 Grn. Fed 215 M Primers . It only generated about 2800 fps from the 26 inch barrel. Fun to shoot. You could take that load up to 80 grns for a powerful elk load, if you wanted too. That would give you 3000 fps from a 26 inch BBL. The old Hornady book Vol. 2 ( page 249 ) had H 4831 loads to 82.9 grns for that bullet weight. I never went that hot . [/QUOTE]
