[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 821381, member: 47325"] You can't really use bullet weight as an indicator, of where you might be at as far as appropriate powder charge is concerned. Take a 160 Nosler Partition, and a 180 Berger Hyrbrid. The listed max charge for the Hybrid with Retumbo is 1.3gr higher than for the Partition in the Hodgdon manual. Why? it's due to differences in bullet construction and material. Also I would be very care full about listed loads. If I tried to use the Max load from the Hodgdon manual my case would last about 2 rnds, where as I'm running 0.2gr above Bergers listed max and still 0.8gr below Hodgdons max. [/QUOTE]
