Tubal is Nobel Sport's tubular extruded rifle series (3000, 5000, 7000, 8000). It is not part of the current Shooters World US catalog - US listings appear only sporadically at large retailers, so verify availability before designing a load around it. Vectan's own European reloading catalogue is the data source.

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
