Amen to that....three cheers for all such 'starting loads' - we should all use them as well as OAL minimums too. Trouble is - who do you believe?
ADI ('Hogden' in USA) in OZ do a useful powder equivalents table including all manufacturers and while a 10% safety margin is always advisable, I find it is a good guide for "obsolete" powders which you want to use, having 10lb of the stuff on the shelf !
Perhaps e-mail ADI for a copy, I find them always helpful when I contact them.
I had the same problem with only AA powders being listed with 155 SWC linotype on the LEE Precision info given with my die box. With the help of the ADI scale I converted it to W540 (of which I have a lot) and was very pleased with the result, after having brass damage and too violent ejection problems with HP Magtech(CBC Brazil) factory loads.
The 'starting load' of 6.7gn W540 worked just fine and is now being used in bulk....no change contemplated to a higher one at present. No reason to...
