Does anyone have any load data for the hornady sst 165gr. loaded in a 300 weatherby? with rl22,7828 or imr4831? I will be using wby cases and fed. 215 primers [;)] could not find a hornady load manual

From the Hornady 5th Edition Reloading Manual :
300 Weatherby
Test Rifle = Weatherby Mark V - 26" bbl.
Hornady Case/Brass
Federal 215 Primer
165gr Hornady SST Bullet (and all of their other 165gr bullets).
IMR 4831 Powder:
Starting Load = 64.9gr for 2800fps
Maximum Load = 78.0gr for 3300fps
RL22 Powder:
Starting Load = 72.4gr for 2800fps
Maximum Load = 84.0gr for 3300fps
IMR 7828:
Starting Load = 73.8gr for 2800fps
Maximum Load = 83.3gr for 3200fps
Loaned my 6th Edition Manual to a friend -- Doubt it's much different.
Good Luck........[^]0 -
I found a book by load books USA They show a max load of
Rl22 87.6 for 3400
imr 4831 85.1 for 3400
imr 7828 89.2 for 3300
also later in the book they show 86 gr of 7828 with a 180gr nosler for 3240 all of these seem a little high as far as powder charges
I load a 180gr barnes xlc with 84.5gr of rl22 and that is showed as maximum in barnes 3 nosler 5 does not mention the 86gr load
thanks

If all bullets loaded the same they wouldn't need different manuals.
Do what you think is best, but I would use the Hornady data for the Hornady bullets. Then work up slow until you see what your gun shows pressure at.

that information came from hornady 4th edition according to load book it just seems hot and no more than is gained it also seems like a waste of powder 0 -
Alot of the older manuals show much hotter loads than the newer ones do because they didn't have the pressure equipment they have now days. The older Speer manuals are full of loads that are generally considered to hot today too.
Good Luck..............[^]0
