[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 154237, member: 873"] Heres the link form Steve's pages for the 270 Gibbs similar to to the AI, [url="http://stevespages.com/277_7_130.html"]http://stevespages.com/277_7_130.html[/url] Most improved cartridges can use the max loading for the parent standard case as a good starting point for a particular wildcat. I suggest to start one grain lower than the max standard case loading though to see how a particular powder/bullet respond in your new chamber.
