I have looked at a few different load data books but have found that "mimicking" someone's load is a safer way to start loading a new caliber.
I'm loading:
230gr FMJ (Berry's)
CCI Large Pistol primers
Alliant's Bullseye powder
I read in one of the books that 3.6 grains is a good starting load. Has anyone used this load? Is the "suggested start charge" the lowest charge I should do? Could I start with 3.4 grains? This load would be my plinking around load so I'm interested in a soft load.
I would be shooting out of a Kimber Pro Carry II with a 4" barrel.
