Well i usually go to mfg load data and work from there. While also reading the load data info from Speer, Hornady, #49 etc. I'm not near my data sheets so you're going to do your own leg work for now.

Curious you read the data given on the container? Keeping in mind that data is HIGH END of load.

I then visit other sites where know load data is posted, ALWAYS WORKING FROM LOW END, ALWAYS

Yeah, I'm WAY below the official "starting point" on any official load data. I'm around 18 gr., but that wasn't consistently locking back my bolt on an empty mag.

That will do it. Bump it up to 19.5 - 20gr

Naw, just that the shit doesn't heat well or taste great the next day, so I just finished 'em off instead.

No, it just wasn't helpful at all.

HB...I AM NOT A RELOADING PRO by any stretch of anybodies imagination, but the kid and I reloaded 55 gr. Noslers with 22 grains of H335. We did some 50 gr. Zmax stuff at 24 grains as well. I've not put either through any of my stuff yet due to "life circumstances", but the kid had good results with the first loads mentioned, and the second loads did react differently, but I don't remember exactly how they did for him. I'd have to ask him to be sure, but there were no issues with either of them, I know that much.

Some damn day, I'll get to try our loads out on my rifle and see for myself.

Basically, I want maximum economy out of my powder. Keeping distances under 200yds, and not wasting any powder, but not affecting the function of the rifle.

Thanks OBC. I've worked up loads to 25.8gr of H335, but now I'm trying to see how low I can go. I'm weird like that.

It might seem completely uncharacteristic coming from me, but.........I'm actually OKAY with "weird". I know, I don't show that side of myself very often.

lol.

Thank you, thank you....I'll be here all week, and please tip your waitresses.... next show is tomorrow at 7:00.

Goodnight fellers.. :)
