    62gr non-steel core 223rem

    Anyone have any good load data using IMR4064? Going by Hodgdons site and my Lee manual I've found some decent starting points, but on the hodgdon site they only have a SFT SCIR bullet listed in 62gr with a lower charge and velocity, but have a SP bullet listed in 63gr with a higher charge and velocity. So I'm going off of the lower end of the 63gr data and working up, as I've done previously with other powders (H335, BLC-2), I was just wondering if anyone had any known good load data that they'd be willing to share.

    I know, I know, use other people's data at your own risk, work up to it, etc...

    Thanks.

    I think that about sums it up and is what I did with the .380 and that new Lee bullet. When that worked sort of someone with Quick loads came to the rescue with a max load for that bullet and my OAL.

    Maybe someone will do the same for you.

    My test set right now is 23.8gr, if I get a chance to make it to the range I'll know for sure how they do...
