[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2777818, member: 95344"] Nosler uses "load density" which is different than case capacity. From Nosler's glossary: "[B]LOAD DENSITY[/B] The weight of the powder charge, expressed in grains, divided by the volume of the cartridge case, also expressed in grains. The cartridge case volume is obtained by determining the amount of water the case will hold when the bullet is seated to the SAAMI suggested maximum cartridge length." But if you look at Ramshot's load data the Big Game charge is 1.5 grain lower than Nosler's max and at 51,552 PSI. Slower than Nosler's findings but as with any load start low and work your way up. I could see that 2900 fps is possible. I got 2820 fps using IMR 4064, TAC, and RL15. In any case all data is a guideline. [/QUOTE]
