onehole Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 24.5g of vit133 and a 50vmax gets you around 3300/3350 if loaded close to but not touching the lands.No pressure signs in my rifle.You could also use Benchmark if you have any and 25g of that should give you the same.Personally I have moved onto 52amax heads, they still explode nicely for want of a better expression and you can get em in the post!!There are a lot of guys around here using very similar loads and no problems with pressure but if you are working near lands best to work it up to around my suggestion.take care Onehole.Oh by the way you look up the whole data on Hornadys web site I think???.

Sorry back again,Data is available on Vitavouri powder web site not Hornady and to save you looking the range for Vit133 and a 50g head is quoted as 24.1starting to 25.9 max.

Andrew Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 An added thought: You don't need a Hornady book for a Hornady 50 grain bullet. Data for a 50 grain will be the same -allowing for the variances you'd find from one gun to the next- regardless of who made the bullet. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehole Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Millpool I know yours is shorter than mine but it probably does the business but to hit the spot I think a little longer is always better??!!!!regards onehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
