Looking for old load data

[Horskinator]

I have a few pounds of IMR4320. I would be looking for info from manuals pre-Lyman 47th era. I am looking for loads for the following bullet/calibers:

375 H&H 300gr Solid/Partition
375 H&H 350gr TSX

338WM 200gr SP
338WM 210gr TSX

7mm-08 139gr/140gr
7mm-08 150gr TSX/Partiton

Thanks in advance.

I'd use Barnes website for data with their bullets. Load data for solid copper bullets is very different than the data for other lead based bullets. Otherwise most of the time data of the data is close enough as long as you are comparing the same bullet weights. At least until you start approaching max loads. They do show a load with that powder for the 375.

Load Data - Barnes Bullets

You might find something here.

Hodgdon Landing | Hodgdon (hodgdonreloading.com)

Or here

Nosler Load Data

I spent a little time looking around and didn't find much. A few loads for those bullet weighs and powder. But most of them they show nothing and when they do show it as an option it is usually far from the best choice.

I'd be careful using loads from older manuals. Often testing equipment back in the day wasn't very accurate. Some of those loads were never safe, we just didn't know it at the time.

Thanks for the input. I did do just that I was just looking for a few more sources to broaden the ranges and the "oldest" manual I have is the Lyman 47th along with Sierra's from that time period. I have 9 manuals and with IMR 4320 being discontinued I was open to find some more loads to use for the work up.

Nossler lists the most 4320 data I've seen.

Are you looking for anything particular? 31 reloading manuals. If it is something specific, I’ll try to help out.

IMR 4320

375 H&H 300gr
375 H&H 350gr

338 WM 200-210gr

I just have a few pounds of IMR 4320 floating around and could not find a lot of data. I did find some but I try to have more than 1 or 2 sources of information to get a better idea of a median charge and average max.

Thank you all for the help! This is why I love this forum.

There was a link to a source that had a bunch of older reloading manuals in PDF format for free downloading. I forget how to find it but someone else may have saved that link.

I have Noslers #3 (1989) but they didn’t use 4320 for any of those except 7-08 but only have data for 120’s.



They do have data for all 3 using 4350 but that’s less than useful to a guy with 4320.

Speer #11 (1987) again no 4320 data for the big two.



Sierra 2nd (1985) has 4320 data for all 3 though, not with your particular projectiles.
