[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 362321, member: 9215"] Basically, ALL reloading data is generic by bullet weight and powder type, NO manual is "accurate" in the sense that we can blindly follow any suggested charges. I get uncomfortable seeing people speak of loading data as "recipies"; that word implies we will get equal results if we use it and that's not true, not by a long shot. :rolleyes: Why not? Our rifles are not what was used to develop the listed data! Our RIFLES are the single greatest "changes" we can possibly make to any book loads. I know a fellow who blows primer pockets with book "mid-range" charges of Varget in his straight factory Win 70 in 22-250! The ONLY "book" rule that cannot be changed is to "start low and only move up to book max unless, or until, we see excess pressure signs." Mix any cases, primers, powder lots or bullet makers you wish but don't ignore that rule! :D [/QUOTE]
