Bigcim...Steves pages is chock full of very good information. However...Be very much aware that his load data is far outside most, if not all, load manuals. Use his load data with extreme care.
Do not use internet load data (including from this site) unless it is from a powder manufacturer or bullet manufacturer. And I would not recommend starting to reload until I had at least one good load manual and two would be better. I have 6 load manuals in my reloading/gun room and sometimes even that isn't enough...

there is no "best overall". Too many variables. RL-22 is good for some big case/small (relatively) bullet combos. Typically "magnum" designation.
Depends also on what bullet you're loading. I use Hagar's rec's for my 162 A-Max loads.
Absolute max load. I tend to stay below that, just in case. The only exception is with some pistol rounds where I know they've gotten more conservative and the old data seems to work better.bigcim said:
