[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2005241, member: 307"] I looked in the Nosler #8 and Hornady 9th Edition and at first glance I would say you're not putting enough powder in the case. You said you're loading a 405gn bullet. Nosler doesn't have that heavy of a bullet but list a 300gn with 47.5-51.5gn of IMR-4198 at 2022-2228fps, respectively. Hornady list a 350gn; 42.2gn (1700fps) to a max of 53.3gn (2200fps). They list a 500gn slug with a starting load of 39.1gn of IMR-4198 @ 1500fps, all the way to 47.6gn @ 1800fps (ouch!). I would look at your load data again. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
