[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1061905, member: 10178"] I have been loading for over 30 years and have found that when using comparable bullets, cup and core type, as long as you begin with the start loads and work up slowly you will be OK. My Hodgdon manual list 55 gr Speer sp which is a cup and core bullet and your Hornady FMJ is a cup and core bullet also start load with Benchmark is 24.0 grs and max is 25.6 grs. With Mono type bullets 55 grs start is 21.0 grs and max is 23.4 grs. [/QUOTE]
