[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 268945, member: 10755"] Mate, in my 270Wby, I load the bullets to be just (.010") short of the magazine length and work backwards in .005" increments until I find the 'sweet spot'. Unless you want to single load, seating bullets out further will be difficult, because the amount of freebore will restrict that length for sufficient neck tension. I cannot get bullets to touch the lands in my rifle, so I don't bother trying. RE25 is THE powder in every magnum of this size, up to 300Wby. A few loads are: Wby cases, Fed215Match primer. Speer 130gr SP, RE25/79gr Nosler 140gr AB, RE25/77.5gr. Nosler 150gr P, RE25/75gr. All these loads have been extrapolated and run through 'Quickload', you'll need to work up from at least 10% below. I have found that like most magnum's top end loads perform the best, within safety parameters of course. Good luck with it, great cartridge, hope it all goes well for you. Cheers.
