I don't have a Swift Reload Manual. I believe the max load for IMR4350 behind a 300g is 76.5g. Can someone please confirm? I ended up getting through to Swift and they confirmed 76.5g is max | ||

Hodgdon says that using a Swift 300 grain bullet, the max load is of 75 grains of IMR4350 and that it is a compressed load. Bullet: 300 GR. SFT AF/SS Starting Load - 67.5 grains at 43,200 CUP for 2,253 fps Maximum Load - 75.0 (C) grains at 47,800 CUP for 2,481 fps Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

I do not understand this at all. Maximum charge in ANY rifle is determined by the rifle. And any shooter who reloads often enough knows that. I have seen rifles that will show signs of high pressure well below book maximum charges. And others that would take several garins more than book and still happy about it. | |||

Absolutely. I work up loads myself from a starting load for all my guns. When I first got a 22.250, everyone told me that 38 grains of H380 with a 55 grain bullet was the accurate load. The first time that I tried it in my gun, I blew out primers and smeared brass from the ejector hole.

I agree. I always work my way up, but almost never go over the printed max on a given manual. I've gotten to 75g with no pressure signs, just wanted to know the printed max from Swift. | |||
