I want to start working up a load for these bullets that I got from Midway but can't seem to find a good C.O.L.. I called Rainier and they suggested 1.161" C.O.L. but that seats the bullet pretty darn deap. Speer calls for 1.275" and Lyman doesn't show anything for a 200gr FP. Also, there are loads posted on www.handloads.com with a C.O.L. of 1.250" for the Rainiers.
I would assume that I should stick to what Rainier stated as 1.161" C.O.L. and start 10% below listed and work up. Correct?
Sometimes its a pain to work up loads from bullet makers that don't publish reloading data for us handloaders.
