saddler Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 All my reloading manuals only have load data for bulllets... None of them mention heads. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 you wont get generic data for brass type, Have never heard of "full bore powder" personally let alone use it. Go to Alliants website as they list various loads. Just remember with rifles we work up from a starting load and should not exceed the max, so if you see a particular load listed always reduce it 10% and work up to it looking for pressure signs. If you don't know what your doing read up or get good help as this can be dangerous if you do something silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just I have never come across it. If it were me I should just use Vhit N140 Lapua 155 scenars or Seirra matchkings, I supect PPU will be nothing but a stumbling block on the way to success. Many things matter but cannot be predicted as all chambers vary just enough to make a difference, so they are not generally listed. If you find a specific recommended load you still drop it back and work it up in your rifle. In all honesty its best to seek out help locally unless you are good with reading up on all the technical works on hand loading practices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
