[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2489623, member: 92702"] Sort of. Starting loads in a small capacity cartridge like this should be fine. As for max, you have to work up your own no matter what the bullet. But, once a gain a load for a similar bullet gives you an "about" where you will end up. Bullet design can change that a little, but not by very much unless bullet construction changes. Also, velocity is good indicator of pressure. If you get much over the expected velocity more than likely you are over pressure. Work up carefully and load for accuracy, and stay away from maximum pressure. All this being said, as the cartridge becomes more and more overbore it becomes more sensitive to the starting loads (Possible hang fires and detonation) while as capacity lowers the cartridge becomes more sensitive to high pressure. In other words in a .223( or your 6x47) you would find max a tenth of a grain at a time, but a 300RUM more like a half or even a grain at a time. Hope this all makes sense. [/QUOTE]
