Scott I know you had posted it before but could you please run a quick load for a 300 Norma with a 230 grain berger hybrid with H1000 and retumbo, and a 22x47 lapua with 75-80 Berger vld , and Amax with H 4350 PLEASE? THANK YOU.
I don't have the 230 Berger in my QL. I used the 240 SMK for comparison. Should get you started though.

Its a 6.5x47 lapua case necked down 22 cal. it should be close to a 220 swift case in capacity, a little more than a 22-250 and a bit less than a 22-250 AI. THANKS FOR THE INFO ON THE 240 THAT WILL HELP.

The most recent update included quite a few bullets that were not previously available. Unfortunately, several of the newer powders are not included yet.
Jeff, There are two Berger bullets listed (30428 and 30110). I ran one, but not the other. If it is incorrect, let me know and I'll push out the correct one.
mike i saw you listed the otm, the bullets i have are the other number. the hybrid has a higher bc and a different profile but i will also try the otm and thank you for that info. i always let the gun and the chronograph pick the bullet for me. did your update include any info on the lapua case? i am going to try and run the same powder i use in the 6.5 but backing it off a bit to start i am sure that process will produce the info i need. thanks again mike for the info. could you run the other bullet with retumbo as well for me please?
Only a couple of loads have information on cases. The system relies on measuring the actual case capacity. The default position is SAAMI or CIP standards. To get a precise measurement, deoxygenate water by letting it stand in an open container overnight. Tare a fired case (either plugging the flash hole with wax or leaving the spent primer in place), then add deoxygenated water with a pipette until you form a convex meniscus. That may be taken as case capacity. When you have this figure, it will allow very precise projections of charge weights.
Jeff, Perhaps this data will be more meaningful for you.

Mike, no it doesn't its just a 6.5x47 lapua case necked down to .224, I am not sure if lapua ever endorsed it but I am assuming they didnt for the fact that my dies simply state 22x47.
Unfortunately, I don't have the data for the 22X47. There are certainly a number of strange (to me) cartridges included in the data base, and new ones are added each year.
