[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1902950, member: 57533"] In reality the only time anyone should ask for load data suggestions is where the load data doesn't exist, maybe for some sort of wildcat maybe? But I certainly wouldn't be asking for suggestions on a public forum anyway, Id be talking to a professional. I have never asked for load data on a forum, never will, I have however written to powder manufacturers I hate it when I see people asking of others PET loads, for 3 reasons, one its pure just lazy, two its dangerous, three ITS NOT GOING TO WORK IN YOUR GUN I get where someone might ask for a cartridges preferred powder in a certain projectile weight as this is a definite performance accuracy factor in reloading, on a few occasions I have had to load test 3 powders to get a load right for a projectile that I wanted to use because I have a hell of a lot of them. I just try to ignor it now but I cannot believe how many people keep asking for it, then they start saying things like "I'm going to start at X amount of grains which is say mid to high range in the spread from min to max. Straight away I know these people don't know what the hell they are doing. I know there are some very experienced handloaders here but imo as soon as someone starts asking for load data I take the stance that they have almost no experience, otherwise why would they be asking!! Whoever says there is no stupid questions asked in forums should think again!! [/QUOTE]
