Totally new to reloading but I need some help here!
I am trying to find the most accurate/consistant load for several bullets. I use plated 124g rn and am currently loading them to 5.2g and oal of 1.135 With so so accuracy.
I am now trying to find a good charge for 124g precision delta fmj. at the moment I am at 5.2 with an oal of 1.140. I was loading up some at 5.4 5.6 and 5.8 with an oal of 1.140 when I checked imr's reloading center, they list the max at 4.9 oal of 1.090.
I called imr and the guy told me to load 4.9 at 1.090 oal. Do these guys know what they are talking about or do they just read from their web page? A 124g at an aol of 1.090 would be stupid short and I can't imagine it would function well/be safe.
I was under the impression I could load a max of 6.3g in a 124fmj oal 1.125
Does a reduction in oal of .035 drop the max charge from 6.3 to 4.9g? Doesn't seem right to me.
Any help on this would be great. and if any of you have some pet loads for 4756, feel free to share them. It would save me a bunch of time
Thanks,
