Thanks for all the replies, guys. With SAFETY being my utmost concern it is a little disconcerting to find different recipes with every loading manual you pick up. I'm right in the middle with Lyman #49 and only .1gr over Speer's starting load if I'm remembering correctly. Being new to this, I tend to say Whoaa!. Let's look at this further. Oh, by the way, I am using Winchester's bullets, primers and of course their powder. Just got my ProDigital chrono in so I'm off to the range either tomorrow or Wednesday to see what they're doing. Taking some loaded with 5.2gr and some with 5.5gr and also some WWB just to see what factory ammo is doing. Thanks again for the posts. I'll keep you informed.
