SL1,

Actually, the load is 1.0 grains under the max listed in the Speer load data supplied with the actual bullets.

In the same document, Speer recommends the bullet be crimped in the rear groove (canelure), and Speer also gives a COAL for handguns crimped in this groove at 1.665".

There is a complete different set of data supplied with the bullets for rifle loads. They also suggest using the forward canelure for rifle loads.

I will try and scan the data sheet and post it here.
