Every fine cartridge deserves it's own load data page for armchair ballisticians and wildcatters to obsess over. And it makes cartridge comparisons so much easier to have a good collection of data on one page. So let's see your numbers! All the normal disclaimers apply, if you lose your fingers, eyesight, sexual potency etc. your on your own. Also be sure to include the COAL in the data, there's nothing more annoying than to see what appears to be the load to end all loads only to find later it's way beyond mag length.

Also be sure to include the COAL in the data, there's nothing more annoying than to see what appears to be the load to end all loads only to find later it's way beyond mag length. That's a good idea in general. Most of us sprinkle our data across the various threads we contribute in. The disclaimers make sense without a doubt and but like heroin addicts many think they are bullet proof and from some of the stuff I've seen posted up on other boards I am EXTREMELY suspect of any of it. The need for speed is like a Siren song to many. There appears to be a pervasive atmosphere on several cartridge proponents that safe is defined as it didn't blow up so it is safe. The basic idea is "look at me I'm going as fast as XXX at 20% less case capacity but by gosh I got me a good'en here." I have seen some guys report that XXX was too hot in their rifles/cases and are basically told they are idiots because the responder/responders has shot THE LOAD and it is perfectly safe because he got it from some demi-god in the Ethernet and THEIR rifle didn't have a problem. I'll pass on a comment on wildcats that Zediker made. He described working with a wildcat is like training a tiger. About the time you think everything is perfect and he is learning and behaving he'll walk up and rip your head off and drop it in his water bowl. Nothing wrong with wildcats but common sense to prevail. Greg |

This is a great thread to start, I'm currently compiling a parts list for my 243 LBC upper, and will post results as soon as I start shooting. As Greg said, just when you think you have everything figured out, something shifts and you're back to ground zero.
