When Dad and I reloaded we loaded 60 grains of 4831, Old 40mm Pom-Pom powder I think, behind a 150 grain Sierra bullet. This gave around 2700 FPM muzzle velocity. The loading table listed 61 grains of 4831 as max load. 60 grains would fill the case completely full. Rifles were a 03 Springfield and a Mauser 98 re-barreled to 06 Douglas barrel. Dad later built a 300 Win., FN Mauser action, Douglas barrel. Dad carved the stocks on all three rifles from a Black Walnut tree he cut when I was 2 months old. He let the stock blank cure for fifteen years before he touch the first one for the 03. The blank he used on the 300 had cure 18 years before he began the whittling. The load we used on the 300 was 83 grains of 4831 behind a 150 grain bullet. Mussle Vel. was about 3500 FPS. Used this round to almost blow a ground hog, Wood Chuck, into a 200 yards. This round also shoot through the front shoulds of a deer at 400 yards. Kent
