What Does Your Book Show?

[HARV6]

Just curious to see what everyone's manuals show as a max charge for Reloader 19 in a 270win. I'm loading 130gr Hornady Interlock SP's and 150gr SST's. My LEE book was around 5% LESS than what Hornady told me over the phone for the 130 Interlock. My other book didn't list reloader 19 for the 130. I know most books will have different numbers for a number of reasons, just wondering how much different.

Lyman #49 says 130 Sierra SBT + RL-19:
Start 48.5
MAX = 57.0

Hornady # 6 shows.
130 IB, SST, & SP bullets:
Start = 50.6
MAX = 59.4

Thank you sir. Its interesting (at least to me) that even one company's numbers change over the years. On the phone today Hornady told me 59.0 as a max charge. Maybe that's how these companies plan to sell the same book over and over; just tweak the info.

I see a trend as i compare old to new reloading books that the new books seem to aire on the side of caution with lower max charges it may be that now we are better able to measure fps and so on. What I think is that it is a result of lawsuites.
