I'm working up a mild load for an ASM reproduction Sharps single-shot cavalry carbine. The Laser Cast book listed 21.0 grains of IMR 4198 as a starting point and 27.5 as a maximum for their cast 405 grain Flat Point bullets. I want to use 25.5 grains, sorta mid range load.
When I looked on my bench, I found that I have H-4198 instead. The Hodgdon's manual listed 27.0 grains H-4198 as a starting point, capping out at 31.0 grains.
My question, is 25.5 grains H-4198 too low to use under the cast 405 grain FP in the Sharps repro?
