Hello all... New here to the forum but am a long time reloader. I have been lurking here awhile and picked up some great info on my 35 whelen. I have a 240 weatherby in a s2 vangaurd that i have been shooting chucks with all summer and am wanting to try it out on deer this fall. I was wondering if anyone handy with quickload could race the powders for me for 80-90 gr bullets. The oal on loaded rounds is 3.100 in and case capacity is avg of 65grs in fired form. Also the case length is 2.493. Looking at 3 bullets the 80 gr barnes ttsx, 85 npt and 90 gr AccuBond. Barrel is a factory 10 twist at 24 inches. I load to 60 k psi max and to be truthfull dont need to see max weight charges. I am looking to start with a powder that gives me all i can within pressure limits as i work the the load up. Thanks in advance!

Cartridge          : .240 Weath. Mag.
Bullet             : .243, 85, Sierra HPBT 1530
Useable Case Capaci: 59.187 grain H2O = 3.843 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.100 inch = 78.74 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 64000 psi, or 441 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Welcome to the forum. If you've been lurking for a while, you know what goes on here, and you know that you can ask questions, anticipating a sound answer from a great group of individuals with a goodly amount of knowledge about hand loading.
 
Thank you very much for the data! I am very happy to find a forum like this with people that are helping one another without being critical of what someone may or may not know or understand. In reading over many posts by others here ive noticed this. For a long time i had been a regular visitor on 6mmbr forum and the rudness of a few opinionated people that offer nothing to the threads has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I only know of one other forum that is similar to this and it is a small group that deals mostly with smokeless muzzleloading. I look forward to helping those here when my experience may be of value to others. I am an avid shooter in long range benchrest and varmint hunting as well as smokeless muzzleloading. for years i have tuned my bench and varmint rifles to their potential but have neglected this treatment to my deer rifles until recently. With the help here my hunting rifles will tuned to their potential as well. Thanks again, Pat
 
We're all fellow travellers moving toward the elusive goal of finding the perfect load. Some have travelled farther than others, but none have arrived, yet. Again, welcome aboard.

As usual, perfectly worded Doc!
 
Welcome aboard buddy. That 240 with an 85 grain NPT should be pretty awesome on deer. Fotis and Mike gave you great places to start. Give a holler if you need anything. Scotty
 
Fwiw, i picked up some 90 accubonds. Moly coated them and set them on top a healthy dose of imr 4831. At 53 grs they shot a ragged 1/2 measured 4 shot group. It showed 3/4 inch at 53.5. Plenty good for whitetails here. Really suprised with this s2 weatherby, also shoots the 55 nbt near 4200fps sub moa. Great gun for the money. Accurate without tweaking right out of the box. Thanks for the help guys.. :grin:
 
Sounds great. Congratulations on finding a good load for a fine rifle.
