gatnfans Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Need some help; I have looked on the Hodgdon load data web site for a Sie 168 gr HPBT and according to them the starting load is at 41.5 and goes to 46 gr. Now I just received my Sierra load manual and was looking at what they have listed and theirs starts at 39.6 and goes to 43.1. I have not loaded this yet but I am concerned that the starting loads are so far apart. Being new to reloading (less than a year) how do I know what to trust if I am to start a new load for this cal.

Kimber_45 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Contact both companies to verify the details of your situation and ask advice. Make a decision on a start load based on the option they think is the safest. Reloading is not the place to start guessing and taking risks. The real goal here is to keep both eyeballs and all your fingers intact. Don't blow up your gun. Ask the experts, not an internet forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
