I want to publish my kudo's to both Nosler and Alliant Powders. I KNOW that both Nosler and Hodgdon are supporters here, but knowing how wonderful ALL of the reloading companies are I dunno if anyone would mind. I shoot an older cartridge that has lost favor over the last 50 years. There is reloading data, but it is dissappearing quickly and what there is? Is in small amounts. It takes vast resources and quantities of time to put together these reloading books, so I understand. Factory is getting prohibitive in costs, so I have taken to reloading this wonderful cartridge. Unfortunately what powder I have isn't listed in the Nosler 5th Ed. Manual nor did Alliant Powders list the 150 gr bullet. So, I contacted them in hopes they might have had data.
Ladies and Gents? USE YOUR tech support! Even if the data is not listed! Nosler Customer Support was wonderful and had the answers when I called them. Alliant Powders answered via email. Both companies were very enthusiastic in helping you achieve what you are trying to do. I now have some more loads to try out since my initial loading, while would be OK, was lackluster. I have some 150gr Nosler BT's that will get worked up and shot in hopes of using this wonderful elderly cartridge this year!
