[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 278318, member: 15748"] Montana, I hear you, but we're not talking about a seasoned reloader here. I have no doubt in your ability to develop a load with minimal info or an unknown powder. Nathan's clearly just getting his feet wet, and he needs to understand some basic info before heading off into the deep end. Believe me, this stuff can, and will, bite you if you get casual about it. I've seen more than enough examples, testified in depositions and lawsuits, and played detective at reconstructing disasters. I don't take this stuff casually, and that's after over 30 years of working with it on a daily basis. Now, as for the data, please note that I said the forums can be a useful resource, but that they needed to be checked against a known resource. I'm sure you do that, I know I do, along with a host of others. We've all been doing it a while, and have an understanding of how it works. Nathan will probably get there, but I'd like to see him walk before breaking into a sprint. As I've always said, you're issued exactly two eyes, two thumbs and eight fingers as original factory equipment. Altering that configuration isn't worth a few extra FPS, or salvaging a couple bucks worth of powder. No offense intended, okay? Kevin Thomas Berger Bullets [/QUOTE]
