Thanks. The Hornady book that came with the press is the latest issue so I felt pretty confident in it. Just seems like such a large difference with the powder maker. But I would think one should err on the safe side and go with the lower amount.-Ashbane


Welcome to the affliction! I think you'll find that some manuals are consistently conservative and some sources publish somewhat higher max loads. This is often due to differences in components and test conditions, possibly other factors as well. I can tell you that when Hodgdon says it's a max load, it's a MAX load. Regardless of the source, one principle still applies: start low and work your way up. I generally find my best load before I get to a max load.
