Not in theory, but keep an eye on it in humidity conditions. Also monitor for lube/crap buildup in the extractor slot and action areas, and in the barrel. A careful use of a bore snake will...

IMR 4895 would be my pick, very easy to work with and very good in the 7mm08.

500 grams of powder is around 7716.18 grains. If you have a load-data (XX+ grains) in mind, do the powder math x 1000 = weight of powder required. Add the cost of 1000 large rifle primers, 1000 brass...

A ladder test of one shot at each charge weight is statistically utterly worthless. Might as well write the charge weights on a bit of paper and draw them out of a hat - has the same chance of...

Have found pressure reached sooner with lapua, less case capacity usually meaning less powder for same velocity.

Do they have the same internal volume? . .. if not then identical loads will produce different pressures right there. Ive recently used both in 6.5x55 with modern "snotty" loads and they were very...

Makes no difference unless you are a benchrest shooter. Hotter magnum primers are needed to Get better burn with ball powders only

unless you are hotrodding the load..it SHOULDNT make a hell of a lot of difference...if you are right up on edge of pressure or using a very small volume case however...all bets are off.

Try them backwards that alters the engagement with the rifling and aerodynamics

Thehowa mini is probably the best bang for your buck. A Shultz and Larsen 223 with an extra pair of barrels in 204 and 300 blackout would be mean :-)

As MD said, and if you are loading for one load consistently use a powder thrower like a Lee. I have two one set for 243 and the other for my 284 to throw just under the required charge weight, and...
