USAbaker-I've seen you there on fridays (I remember the seabee patches); we've talked a few times as well. Next time I go on a friday, I'll look for you.

RoyW-I pulled this load for 150's right from the Hornady #10 manual. But what I have found is that rarely do my handloads shoot accurately from rifle to rifle. I have a trials 4T with a pitted and dark barrel that shoots outstanding with sierra 174 hollow-point boats tails. It wont shoot 150's nor will it shoot .312 diameter bullets. That same boat tail in another, almost mint 4T wont print under 2-1/2 inches, but that rifle loves flat-base bullets. It's been a lot of experimentation over the years. Throw in the "panic buying" due to politics/covid/mass shooting (insert any civil unrest here), and I wind up having to substitute powders when Varget, IMR4895, or my other go-to powders become unavailable. This is how I stumble onto good (or bad) load combos.
