Can anyone steer me to some load data for Ramshot Magnum powder in the .257 Weatherby? For some strange reason, the Ramshot web-site does not list the .257WBY in its load data information.
Thanks!

Artist,
Ramshot magnum lies directly inbetween H1000 and RL25 on the burn rate, so you should be able to use those for a starting point.
Read about your wby mag, and at the velocities you want to push a 115gr, it will be comparable to the Lazzeroni 6.5 (257) Scramjet. Say goodbye to your barrel in about 800 rounds, as Lazzeroni has stated thats all the life to expect at those velocities. And his rifles go for about 7000 bucks a pop.
Good Luck

Thanks DR4NRA...
Great thoughts!
Thanks for the advice about the powders too!
I'm already on barrel #2 for the .257WBY.
Yes it is stupid expensive; but man is it fun!

Didn't last long....
I think the first hart barrel had about 600-700 through it.
