Rfwobbly, i appreciate your input, and i intend to be conservative and shoot lighter to stronger loads carefully. However, the Lyman data I'm using is in current publication. If you're saying that I cannot trust the load data in a new edition publication from any company that doesn't manufacture the powder in question, I... well, I just find that hard to believe.
Not saying that at all. I'm referencing the earlier comments made about using the photocopied data sheets of unknown age. I'm saying don't use load data older than ~10 years, and supported that with 2 valid reasons. Your #49 or #50 Lyman (supplemented by manufacturer's web pages for the newest powders) is excellent.
We all have older data we keep around... just in case an elderly neighbor gives us a can of Unique he bought in the 1980's. But we don't reference older reloading data on any type of regular basis... any more than we watch Ozzie & Harriet re-runs on a regular basis.
All the best.
