[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 903005, member: 22069"] Some of my favorite cartridges have issues with availability of good, modern loading data. I have a Ruger #1 in 7x57, so I feel your pain. One thing I have done is to compare my loads to 7mm-08 data. There are some limitations to this approach, but it can at least serve as a guide to tell you if you are in the ballpark. Another step I am planning to take is to buy a copy of Quickload and a Chronograph. I expect that having those two tools in hand will go a long ways toward helping me get the most out of the cartridges I am loading for, while helping me to avoid going too far. One thing I have discovered in my progression as a handloader, is how limited the data really is for all but a few of the more common cartridges. It may simply be that handloading has caused me to gravitate toward a different set of cartridges, but it seems like my favorites all have gaping holes in available data. [/QUOTE]
