[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 978729, member: 48043"] One other thing you can do is open one up and see what the charge weight is... You should be able to see what powder speed range and type (ball or stick) they are using. You may not hit the nail on the head on what they were using but you'll often get close enough to get similar results. I was speaking with the federal rep the other day at my lgs and he said they have up to 5 different non canister powders that are approved for each load so open one of the same lot # up to check this out. Also, even though you know their top charge, the canister grade will often be a bit different so [B][I]you still need to back off and work up[/I][/B]. [/QUOTE]
