Can someone please tell me what the maximum charge of Reloader 15 is for a 270 gr. Swift A-Frame in a .375 H&H?

COAL would be handy too.
 
The Swift Reloading Manual #2 list 71.5gr RL15 as max and they only reference the standard 3.60" coal.
 
When I load A-Frames I take advantage of the cannelure to crimp. So I try to use brass that has been trimmed to similar lengths and let the COAL be set by the cannelure.

As to maximum charge of RL15, I wouldn't trust any number that someone gave me to the point of going straight to that charge.

Here is a link to Alliant and some info there for a different bullet. I would start well below the amount shown and work up.

dchamp - Thanks for the quick response. Very much appreciated.

Phoenix Phil - Agreed on the cannelure and not going straight to MAX. Reduce and work up. The Alliant page lines up with what Swift states. Swift Max = 71.5 and Alliant shows max with a 270 Speer at 71.

Anybody have a pet load for that bullet and powder combination that they want to share?

Hi PaulB. Would you be interested in another WJ Jeffery .450/.400 NE 3". It's an extractor model and in superb condition, cased as well. Made in 1908. The rifle is here in Texas.
