[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 692635, member: 38801"] If you don't have paper load manuals or one of the CD's like Sierra's interactive load manual, then Hodgdon's online manual is a good place to start. Not all of the bullets are listed and neither are all the powders. However, the starting loads are conservative, and the max speeds are pretty achievable in a standard length barrel (24"). Nosler also has an abridged "loading manual" online. Start at their low suggestions and let your rifle tell you where it is and isn't right. I realize that you already have looked at these to gather information; but as I look at the numbers they all make sense except for " I also found an old post on another site... Quickload calculating a max load of 57.2 grains behind the 110AB (developing 63,000 PSI in a 24" barrel)" I don't trust that load at all because it wasn't published by a reputable source. You only get one set of eyes, one nose, one face, and one life; don't mess it up because somebody said it was fine on their quickload. Going above max load listed in a book is usually ill advised by the load manuals, but if your chronograph and brass/primers are saying you havn't made it to high enough pressures (as compared to load manuals) then you can keep going 'til you achieve that. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
