Hornady started making Bee brass for 2017. Graf's sold out of their shipment in under an hour. I personally don't like H110, W296, 2400, or IMR 4227 in the Bee. Pressure hits max before any real...

Ken Waters listed max load was 32.0gr RL-7 with 250gr. slug. Out of my 24" barrel Win 94 that load is 1925-1950fps

Yes projectile length is important. At cast bullet speeds in the 1-14" twist the bullet length needs to be even shorter than jacketed because of the reduction of projectile RPM's. In my 99 (1-14") I...
