Just to give an examole , in the Lee book , the max load for for a 300 Weatherby 180 grain Barnes using A-XMR-3100 is 11 grains lower than the load listed for ACCUR8700, and that is from Lee's second edition.
There is alo a substations velocity difference as well as lower pressure for the heavier weight load .
Factory ammo is also crimped which would also add pressure and hand loads rarely are .
