[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1973652, member: 2939"] So with the Eld-x I would try hybird h100v, Ramshot hunter, and hodgdon Superformance. Or superformance with the heavy Berger. I've owned wildcat rifles or tried new powders with "Zero" or limited loading data available . I've been very successful in looking at the powder burn rate charts and figuring out how much powder to use. Like you know how much N560 you used with the Eld-x . superformance is faster on the burn rate chart. Drop down 4 grains as a starting load and increase in .5 grain or .3 increments and just match the pressure signs of the primer compared to the n560 load. here we have online calculators for foot pounds of energy. I'm sure that you can find a joules of energy calculator. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: [I]K.E. = 1/2 m v2[/I]. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic energy is usually measured in units of Joules (J); one Joule is equal to 1 kg m2 / s2. [/QUOTE]
