About the numbers all over you have to remember a laweyer helped them with that loading book and they aer scared to death of lawsuits.


FYI I have found the LEE manuals to be the weakest and most reserved. I use multiple books for referance but never one for a load.

I think this is why a chrony is a must for loading to find what works and what doesn't....but that is my opinon!

thanks Buddy! i'll stick with 5.7 grains and try some more accuracy tests.
