[QUOTE="winmag, post: 397108, member: 22166"] Theres nothing at all wrong with the tried and true IMR 4831, IMR 4350, H 4831, or the H 4350. But as. There are alot more powders out there that give higher velocities now tho. Like RL-19, and RL-22. If you can get your bullet to go where you want it with a higher velocity then why use the slower powder? If it doesnt group well, then you can fall back on the ''tried and true''. Noslers website gives great load data, per caliber/cartrige, with thier bullets, and is a great starting block for your load development. They tend to push the ''max load'' just a tick further than most current load books. Knowing theres a safety margine built into thier load data makes some of the current load manuals data look pretty conservitave in nature. Dont get me wrong I dont start at max load nor do I recomend it, but Id use Noslers load data (top 3 loads) as a starting block and work up from there as far as I could, as long as the accuracy stayed there and no pressure signs appeared. I dont mind semi flat primers, but pancaked primers tell me to back it off a little :D. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
