[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1057003, member: 83233"] Learn me then. Yes the powder is an unknown but its not that different than when we're having to use a bullet & powder combo that isn't published so we look at similar combinations and start low and work up. In my experience in 7mm-08 and 30-06 the barnes of similiar weights take a couple grains less of powder that a lead core typically. Also I was suggesting backing off the powder charge another 2grs. So please clearly quantify the area of concern with trying 2gr less powder for a load shooting a longer 140gr TTSX and putting a 139gr hornady BTSP in there? [/QUOTE]
