Does the Lyman manual list loads like this? My present manuals are oriented toward full-power loads, so aren't helping me with this.
Thanks, and Semper Fi.

A bit faster than you said, but still pretty light: I used a 110gr Speer RNSP with 5744, and came up with an excellent load within SPEER #14 data (26-27gr.). Another one was with the Sierra 125gr spitzer and H4895, using one of the light loads from Lee's #2 (that section at the beginning - cast bullet loads?).
Good luck!
