Anybody have any idea of load data for this combination? Easiest powder for me to get is USB 869 or 7828SSC. Thanks for any help.

I think this is the same data that Weatherby puts on their website.

Might want to do some reading about hornady eld/atips blowing up.

153gr A-tip issue

So a shooter today had Bullets not making it to the target at 600. Running a 6.5creedmore with 8 twist 153gr. We didn’t know he had issue so we couldn’t see them blowing up or coming apart. Claims running around 2880 fps. Has anyone had issue with these bullets coming apart?? No one else dropped...

Maybe thats why they were sold as seconds. Cheap enough and I suppose I could get them to shoot at slower speeds but what would be the point of that ? I got some 140 corelokts to try. Developing loads at this time of year could spell trouble in the summer.
