Interesting load data!!!!!

I'm using Triple 7 so I am dropping everything by 15%.

found Buffalo Bullets 125 grain conicals, wonder what a good start load would be for them?????

If we're talking 36 cal Navy I'd start with a 15gr load by volume (use a 15gr BP spout). A 18-20 gr load would be a good all around shooting load and 23-25gr by volume will be a nice thumper.
