I am helping my uncle build a new rifle. He's decided to go with a 240 Weatherby, something he's always wanted...so here we go.
Does anyone have load data? This will be a hunting rifle, so I was thinking about the 87gn VLD or 90gn ELD's. But with that much powder behind them, maybe something a bit heavier shoots?
Figured an 8 twist should be fine, @3300fps +- it should be stable.
What about powder? H4831, IMR4064, RL15?
Any help would be great!
