[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 614708, member: 14209"] You Bet! I've already started loading the test loads. I don't have any details with me as to cartridge OAL, But Starting Loads are going to be 86g of US869 and Goiing up to 89g as a Prospective max. There isn't any Data for US869 and 180g Bergers. So I have to experiment on my own. Due to the Slow nature of it, I'm guessing that 88g (As Hodgdon's Max for a 175g Partition) may be conservative. We'll see. I contacted Berger and Walt sent me some data. I'm Guessing that he was using Quick Load to extrapolate the data. Quickload may not have a Profile for US 869. Hodgdon does have some data as well for the 7STW and this propellant. I can forward the PDF File from Hodgdons and Walt's data as well if you want. I'm shooting these bullets Single shot and seated out to the Lands. They look like little missles. :D I'll probablly develop a lighter load d I can use it as a repeater as well. But First things first. I'll let you know how they shoot. Dan [/QUOTE]
