[QUOTE="fatrack, post: 551961, member: 21853"] Hey WSMBUCK, You hit the nail on the head with "work my way up". Since you are shooting a wildcat and published data is not available you need to do your own research to find what you think is the best starting point based on the info you do have. Information you find on internet forums can help but be critical of information given. I like to look at similar cartridges to give me a ballpark number. For the Edge, similar rounds would be the Lapua and the RUM. This is the load data from Hodgdons website for H-1000 and the 300SMK. LAPUA- starting-83 Max-92 RUM-starting-82 Max-88.5 When you do find a powder you are happy with buy a 8 pound can so you don't have to work up the load again every time you buy a new can of powder. Heres a quote from the Hodgdon website "If the reloader makes any changes in components or gets new lot numbers, he should begin again with the starting loads and work up to maximum cautiously." Enjoy your Edge, it will definitely get er done! [/QUOTE]
