This wasn't that easy when you are working with a cartridge that has a maximum operating pressure of 48,000 PSI. I chronographed these loads as I worked them up and I have the loading data and chrono numbers if anyone is interested in them.

How much powder did you use for the loads that you worked up?
Thanks,
