[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1624269, member: 38048"] Look at the powder burn rate charts and find the most similar burn rate powder that is listed for your cartridge. Take that data and reduce by 10 to 15% and work up from there. If your powder has a faster burn rate than the load data powder reduce by 15%. If your powder is slower reduce by 10%. Never guess it's a sure way to disaster. You are building a controlled bomb basically. Do it right it all goes down the barrel. Do it wrong and some will come back right in your face or worse. Wear those safety glasses when working up a max load. Some powder will give ample warning you are getting pressure. Some show no pressure and then jump real fast towards max. Safety first. Shooting blind would suck all the fun out of it. Shep [/QUOTE]
