It doesn't matter how many grains of powder they use, unless you know exactly what powder they are using.I'm not sure where you are going with this post. I have my ideas. I think you are looking for a duplicate load. Because they use x amount of powder doesn't mean you can use x amount of another powder.Every powder has it's own characteristics.Unless you know the exact powder they use DON'T TRY IT.If I'm wrong about your intentions I apologize.

150 gr imr 4350. not !!!!!! why would you want to know? remington loads what ever powder they got on sale one lot may use imr another hodgedon. they usually load mid range due to alot of older guns still being out there. liabilitys!

DEERSLAYER,
You've gotten real good advice. Not only do factories change powders, but the powders usually are not available to reloaders. I'd suggest Hodgdon extruded powders. One of the slower powders that are compatibile with your cartridge and bullet weight. High load density is condusive to accuracy.

I would start by using IMR 4350 and Hodgden 4350 - shoot both and measure speed and accuracy. Use whichever works the best in your gun.

All of the above is good advice if you want to reload some manuals give what is called a factory velocity duplication load for most common cartridges. I think both Speer and Lyman do in the editions I have. This is the safest way to get were I think you want to go, but if that load is a max. one work up to it like any other.

Good advice here so far. There is a "reloading" forum you might want to check out.
