Zero,

First off, good on you for trying to download such a big cartridge to make it more shootable on a daily basis. I do the same thing with my .350 Rem Mag - it's a lotta fun and I have even worked up Bunny loads using pistol bullets.

BUT, and I do mean BUT, do NOT go into this blind. An undercharged case can be just as dangerous as an overcharge! The first thing I am going to recommend is to go to www.midwayusa.com and buy a "Loadbooks USA" on your cartridge. They are around $8 or so and contain ALL the load data from any published resource on your cartridge in one place. I'm very willing to bet that someone (Speer, Lyman come readily to mind) have already worked up reduced power loads for you.

Start there.

IF nothing is available, send me a PM or the like and we can exchange phone numbers. I'll be glad to tell you how I go about creating a reduced load - but I'm sure not going public with it lest someone mis-interpret something and get in trouble!
