[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 571442, member: 21068"] You can use the data from the book you've got just to get started. Just be sure to back down on the powder charge by a couple/few grains for your first attempts. There's alot of info on the net for free if you don't want to spend the money on another book or two. I like to compare 2 or 3 sources when starting loads for an unknown cartridge, you'll find that often times they don't all agree on max charge with same bullet weight and same powder. Even if you find 2 or 3 that do agree on the max charge; begin by backing it down [B]at least 5%.[/B]...........safer still is back it down by 10%. [/QUOTE]
