[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 755929, member: 48043"] There is a good bit of variation between some of the bullet designs as far as pressure generated for a given powder charge. I've seen in my 7stw(and occasionally elsewhere) where a MILD charge for one bullet will nearly be excessive pressure with another. Nosler acubond 140's in my 7stw will take about 4 grains less rl22 than the sierra 140 for the same basic pressure. I usually try to find a manual that will "track" with the rifle I'm loading for as far as safe loads. My 300 rum tracks closely to the Nosler data. My 25 wssm tracks well with Hodgdon. Some rifles are just mutts and they'll not really track well with any book. This doesn't mean I jump to top load after I figure this out( I still run the charges); it just lessens the pucker factor a bit on some of the calibers with a lot of charge variation between manuals.
