I did some loading today with 296 for my model 19 today, using Fed 200 magnum primers for the harder to ignite 296. I usually compare loads between several different sources, but I noticed Hornady lists 12.4 grain start load for their 158 gr and Sierra lists 15.9 as a start load for their 158 gr.and implied dire consequences for loading less than the start loads.
I have several editions of load books and the powder I have is from 1996. All the books are slightly different and I check back through all editions. I always start at the low end and workup
Why the difference? Anyone?
