Very satisfying groups, Boomer. Definitely put the hurt on a coyote.
 
Q/L predicts 3610 fps for the Hornady and 3558 for the barnes.



Code:
Cartridge          : .240 Weath. Mag.
Bullet             : .243, 58, Hornady V-MAX 22411
Useable Case Capaci: 61.811 grain H2O = 4.013 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: 63000 psi, or 434 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.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

149 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
