Please, if anyone has a Speer manual that lists a 120 grain Grand Slam and willing to share I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for their published COAL.

Website and manual #15 does not have that bullet listed.

Thank you
 
Number 12 just for good measure

Kind of scratching my head in that one too.
"iT's oVerbOrE."

In all truth, yeah it's overbore and pretty much acts like a magnum in that regard. I loaded 115s-130s with Retumbo (when I had my fast twist 25-06) and my buddy uses RL26 for 90s
 
Yep overbore as nhenry says and from what I've what I've gathered, slower powders seem to come into play with a longer barrel/heavy bullet combo.

If I find some V170 I may give that a try, it's between H4831 and H1000.

I think it's great the older manuals are getting some play.
