[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2443080, member: 102254"] I remember back in the mists of old age, that when I started reloading there were 4 main manuals available., Sierra, Hornaday, and Speer were the bullet manufacturers. Lyman also was a source although, in my neck of the woods, it wasn't available. I asked the proprietor of my favorite weapons dealer and his advice was to use the data for similar weight projectiles as a starting point and let the weapon tell me what it preferred. I was also forming 25-06 brass from surplus LC 30-06 brass I got at a now forbidden "gun show" for a song. The RCBS tech rep turned me onto using their 25-06 trim die a forming tool then file the excess neck material off. Used that advice for decades until factory 25-06 brass became available. I finally retired that lot of brass after more than a dozen reloads. [/QUOTE]
