Alliant sent me loading data for .38 Special up to .45-70.
For .45-70 they show 53 gr. for a 350 gr.RNFP and 49 gr. for a 405 gr RNFP.
They say do not reduce the stated charges and no over powder wad needed with any of the loads.
Now I will start out with the 405 gr. load but wanted to figure out a load for my 500 gr. RN bullets.
So would it be safe to load the 405 data and measure the powder height in relation to the amount
of that 405 gr. bullet inside the case. Then measure the greater length of the 500 gr. bullet inside the case and reduce the stated 49 gr. of powder to reach same powder height?
I should be receiving my first order of powder next week.
