[QUOTE="bachekermooni, post: 2291982, member: 111938"] Thanks. I had heard Norma bass has less capacity. I did give that full consideration. If you look at the same powders and loads that Hodgdon recommends for 165 GMX and Barnes recommend for 165 TTSX [URL]https://www.barnesbullets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/300-Win-Short-Mag.pdf[/URL], you will see a major discrepancy in Max Loads - Barnes is higher. Plus, unless I am mistaken, GMX is made of solid gilding metal, a harder substance than copper so perhaps it develops pressure at a lower charge weight!? I will seriously reconsider and potentially start at say 67 and go up in 0.5 until 70. Appreciate your concern and advise. Also, Hodgdon has the COL at 2.84" for 165 GMX as opposed to 2.86" for 165 TTSX by Barnes. [/QUOTE]
