I am trying to create a load for a 145gr LRN .361 using sr7625 and would like to ask if my reasoning is safe and sound.
I have the latest copy of Lyman's "Cast Bullet Handbook" and am referencing pg 253 and in particular lyman load data for mold #358477 150 gr. I called Lyman and reached the technician who was familular with this load data and how it was created. I asked him what the lenght of this bullet was. He told me that it was .660 mold size with real sizes been within +/- 2-5 thousands depending on alloy content simular to lymans #2. The bullets I have are from MB with a hardness of 12 and measures on MY average of being .650. The OAL for lymans 358477 load is 1.070.
If I load MB 145 gr to 1.060 OAL can I use the load data for #358477 sr7625 which is:
starting 2.5gr through 2.8 gr
