[QUOTE="Wilderness Blacktail, post: 1837592, member: 27906"] A lot of the loads I have put together in numerous rifles did not have listed data. Most of the time starting at the start data for another bullet is ok but one time I used Sierra data for a Hornady bullet and the second notch, .5gr up from start locked up my gun!! So dont assume that's its gunna work if you dont drop a couple grains and work up. Nowadays I always work to fund pressure first so load up 1 of each at 1 grain intervals to where I think I will hit max. Then once I know where I see pressure signs I can fine tune the promising spots with 3 each. I've saved hundreds of bullets this way and it's super easy and cheap to stay safe and work up. In ur case I'd def start with the lower numbers if it's not the combo you have on hand. [/QUOTE]
