[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1772860, member: 109113"] I'll bet that if you call Hodgdon and talk with a tech rep you could get some useful information. I did that years ago when I was working with a wildcat cartridge, and they were helpful. Nowadays, the lawyers will certainly hobble them to some degree, but you will probably get some good insight from them. Another angle would be to pick up a book called WILDCAT CARTRIDGES from Wolfe Publishing Company. It's a massive volume, about three inches thick, and it's got a collection of magazine articles about dozens upon dozens of non-standard cartridges in it. You would probably recognize the names of most of the authors whose articles are bound into this volume. They also discuss problems that they have run into while developing their loads, and many list a lot of loading data for various bullet weights. I'll bet that somebody has already done what you're doing here, or something that is of the same or similar case capacity. If you want, I'll cruise through the book and see what I can find. Let me know. [/QUOTE]
