[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 165948, member: 2011"] Dave, See, I told ya my post would bring them out of the wood work;) The old Speer #9 loading manual (hard cover, btw,:cool:) has reduced loads listed. It was published well prior to the development of the RUM cartridges. Here are a couple of examples. 340 Weatherby 275 gr Speer 35 gr 4759 1686 FPS 39 gr 4759 1905 FPS 338 Win Mag 275gr Speer 30 gr 4759 1587 FPS 34 gr 4759 1808 FPS I have no idea what WR 4759 powder is. Another trick is to lash the rifle to an old tire and pull the trigger with a Looonnngg range string whilst hiding behind a real thick tree. Been there, done that.:o [/QUOTE]
