[QUOTE="Blacktail63, post: 1135702, member: 75421"] Start with verified data and I don't mean the internet. Reloading manuals from the bullet manufacturer; Nosler, Sierra, Barnes etc. and online from Hogdon, Nosler. Start 10% off max for small cartridges and 5% for large ones. Work up in increments that match the cartridge size I.E. .5gr for small and 1gr for large etc. Once you understand and know the rifle better you'll be better at judging your starting loads. Some rifles have tight chambers/short throats etc. that will cause you to reach max. pressure before reaching a "book" max. By starting low and working up it'll give you confidence and assurance that you have a safe load. Welcome to reloading! Loading manuals have a wealth of knowledge for the beginner. [/QUOTE]
