    Yes, I know Hodgdon's info is all the same Scott, that's exactly why I use the one calibre book, because all the bullet manufacturers have different loads for their own bullets & from my tests they perform much better than just dumping in 12-13gns as per Hodgon's say so.

    It's quite a jump from Sierra's recomended 9.2gn to Hodgdon's 13gn.

    I'm pretty sure we had this same discussion when I first got the book
