[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5817505, member: 5958"] For several years I loaded a Mark V 300 Weatherby Mag for a close friend. A truly magnificent rifle in fit and finish and it was accurate beyond compare. I used IMR7828 (no SSC back then) and wished for a long drop tube to ease the bridging but neveryoumind, it went bang every last time and 180 partitions were all we needed. I found max loads were best. Note: setting your dies is tricky. When you think you have it right, load a 180 (or your choice) to the desired depth, and smoke the round before carefully chambering. Most Weatherby's have a long throat and you really want to minimize jump since the powder charge is going to be significant. I have some 215m's if you are in need. And I will loan you the fancy bullet seating die. Makes an otherwise difficult task easy-peasy. [ATTACH type="full"]211251[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
