I want to use some IMR-4227 (I know there are better powders) for some 170 grain 8mm Mauser Hornady soft points. Lee #1 lists a 170 gr jacketed load of 19.5-21.5 gr 4227@36,600 CUP with a velocity of 1860. This is right at the velocity I want to achieve, and since I've got the powder on hand, I thought why not.
I figure that since it was in at least one manual that it would be OK, but should I worry that this particular load doesn't appear in any other manual that I have?
