Once I receive my mold, I am planning to work up a trail boss based cast bullet load for 350 legend and there is no data. I have read the instructions on what to do: figure out how far the bullet will go in the case, fill powder up to that level, weigh it, and that is the max charge. Start at 70% of max. This all strikes me as a little loosey-goosey. What if I get it wrong guessing where the base of the bullet will end up in the case, for example? Anyone done this before? Easy as it sounds? Dangers to be aware of? I know trail boss does not like to be compressed at all, so will stay well away from that. My other alternative is to take a guess on where to start with something like Unique, and I would rather use the most forgiving powder I have available.
The goal is a subsonic (hopefully 1000 FPS) load based on a 180 grain plain based powder coated cast bullet. This is meant as a 50 yard target and small/medium game (rabbit to beaver) load that will be pleasant to shoot out of an american ranch rifle.
