[QUOTE="ronedog, post: 332535, member: 21087"] I just checked out the sticky. I had seen that excel chart before, but perhaps I'm looking for the wong thing, as it made sense from a bullet perspective, but I was looking for something that tells me the amount of powder recommended. For example, the Lee book gives the following for a 30-06 springfield: 180 Grain Jacketed Bullet, H4350 powder-->Starting Load = 52 grains......Maximum Load = 57 grains I guess what I'm looking for is for some comfort from you experienced reloaders as to what you think I should start at as far as the amount of grains of H4350 I should start with. Is 52 grains of h4350 safe enough to start with? I've got my wife all scared I might blow myself and the gun up, and frankly, I'm a bit nervous about pulling the trigger on the first load....perhaps I'll have the mother-in-law pull it for me on the first try! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
