Johwill, I am not asking for anonymous opinions about how high I should load these; I am asking for reference help from those of you with manuals that speak to this bullet & powder combination. I have Winchester's, Lyman's & Midway's load books and none talk about this bullet using W231 powder. If those of you with manuals that reference this bullet and powder combination would provide me with the listed ranges, I would appreciate it.
Blue, I want to duplicate the 124g Speer Gold Dot +P feel. 4.5g still feels a little light. My OAL is 1.035, which is just above the lube ring. If I seat it any further, I would be crimping into the lube ring. My crimp is .379.
Toneyz, I tried calling Oregon Trail the other day. They said their tech was out until Friday & I should call back then. Looks like you saved me the trouble, thanks.
Regards,
Frank
