Conflicting load data.
What do you do when you get conflicting load data
With the total absence of my powder of choice, Bullseye, I have been looking into other powders, my local RFD stocks Lovex (rebadged accurate)
I picked up some D032 (accurate #2), D035 (accurate #5), D037-1 (accurate #7) and D037-2 (accurate #9) I also picked up the load guide for Lovex powder.
I am loading .357 Mag with 158g TC GM Hard Cast, the recommended loads in the Lovex guide are as follows
D032 6.2g to 6.9g
D036 10g to 10.8g
D037-1 10.3g to 11g
D037-2 13.1 to 15.4g
Now, according to the Lee loading guide, which I have used for some time give VERY different loads
D032 no data
D036 8g to 9g
D037-1 9.1g to 10.1g
D037-2 112 to 12.4g
Now my first thought would have been that maybe the powder has changed a bit from going from accurate to Lovex, but as the tubs I have are accurate tubs with Lovex labels stuck over the top of the original I doubt this is the case.
So my problem is, I have loaded some test rounds using the Lovex data but even the minimum load is more then the max load in the Lee load data, and I have just found a pdf on the web of the original accurate loads and they match the Lee data.
What do I do, pull all the test loads and re-load using the Lee, I am guessing that will be the safe thing to do.
Not sure what to do.

It’s sometimes best to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid rather than open your mouth and dispel all doubt…
