[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1771553, member: 92702"] You should never use load data from someone else's rifle. If someone has a pet load you would like to try, you can use the same components, a reloading book and work up to it. Throat length and condition, actual barrel diameter, type and twist of rifling all affect pressure. Barrel length usually affects velocity more than pressure unless the powder is too slow for the combination, then some nasty spikes can occur. If you are new to reloading stay with the book, and pick a powder in the middle of burning range of the powders listed. [/QUOTE]
