[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2108899, member: 111593"] Welcome to the world of wildcatters! We face the same dilemma on a routine basis. If you know someone with Quickload maybe they can help you. I don't have it. Your best path is to determine what the case volume is. Then look for equivalent cartridge sizes with the bullet wt you're going to try. From there make an educated guess and be conservative. Especially so if using military surplus or old actions. Many were made to weaker operating pressures. Your pucker factor will be high when you pull the trigger the first time! Work loads up gradually and watch for any signs of pressure. Once you find pressure you'll learn where to go in powder burn rates. Stay well away from your lands with bullet seating - say 20 thou. Good luck and have fun learning! [/QUOTE]
