I forgot to mention above, I also took a few mintues to talk to the folks at Alliant.

The good-ole boy on the other end of the phone assured me that "He's a seasoned reloader, and I don't see anything wrong with 8.3grains of Green Dot behind a 200gr LSWC. That sounds about right."

I was asking if they had the PRESSURE data with their loads. They did not. He did assure me that Speer had done the testing for that load and it would have to be below the 14000 psi threshold.

It may very well be, but as I said above, the Chrono won't lie.
