[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1214955, member: 8873"] You are not gonna find reloading data in a manual of that time, the cartridge didn't really come about for a couple more years: [url=http://www.lapua.com/en/story-of--338-lapua-magnum.html]Story of .338 Lapua Magnum | Nammo Lapua[/url] As for the .223, google loads with Trailboss. That would be a good place to start. Hard to run into trouble unless you don't put enough in the case. I would also use the heaviest bullet my barrel twist will reliably stabilize, long-heavy- flat based bullets (.223 twists can be really fast to really slow so make sure you know what rifle's is). You CAN NOT just decide to lower a standard powder level down to what you think will lower the velocity and expect good results. The opposite will happen...very bad! The speed of sound will vary with temp changes: [/QUOTE]
