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?

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
