[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1441871, member: 2736"] No tricks just load to mag length. The free bore is your friend with the 378 based wildcats and with 4.000+ mag length possible without any receiver mods case capacity is still slightly over what you can use. I loaded mine with 126 grains of powder and all I got was a huge fireball and still no pressure. after reducing the powder charge until best accuracy was achieved I ended up at 117 grains. My rifle likes the 200 grain bullets best and shoots them at less than 1/10th moa. (average 5 shot groups at .092 to .097) and it is Laser flat. My experience with this cartridge has been that it is very load forgiving if you have the bullets that best match the barrel twist. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
