I just had one built and need some help on "starting" handloads I plan to shoot the 129gr Hornady SST and the 140 gr Hornady interlock bullets They say the RL-15 and IMR 4350 are good powders ! I'd like some suggestions from known shooters who have expierenced this caliber with some "load data" to begin handloading , thanks

  I would think that 4350 (any of them) would be too slow for the limited case cap.

  RL-17 is the powder to use.... H-4350 is next in line...

  Isn't there any one out there that loads this caliber ? What I need is a starting point with the types and amounts of powder per bullet size to get a safe start . I can get the VihtaVuor Oy power loads but would rather stay with the IMR and Hodgens

  Seeing no one knows the rifle your shooting they will be hard pressed to give up any loading data for a unknown application.
  Calling Hodgdon for the info your looking for is your best bet....
