There is a reloading area... and a reloading depot for loads.
Asking this question in the Bear Pit will get you the advice to put in 22 grains of Bullseye and a 70 gr. lead hard-cast on top of a small pistol primer.
Cheers,
Sirhr
P.S. Don't do that. For the love of all things holy... don't do that.

Actually I like the 200 gr subs. Oh wait, that's for the 300BO you talked me into building.
Oh, so he did it. And here I thought I might bear some responsibility.

Or just cut to the chase. Why in the hell waste your time loading for this caliber? Really. If it's the only caliber ya got, then I get it.........
go to www.hodgdon.com and follow the prompts. You have to read and agree to the rules for getting into the reloading data bank. Also, if you are using Alliant, or Accurate, they www.alliantpowder.com and www.accuratepowder.com.
Start at the starting point and work up. DO NOT let someone bullshit you into starting with an OCW charge, here or in the Reloading depot. OCW is a charge you arrive at after you have reloaded for a particular cartridge for a while and have a better idea of min and max pressure in your rifle. The proper OCW charge will be a good margin below max in a standard chambered rifle.

"Load Books" makes caliber specific books that have material from other manuals copied and put in one manual. I have older ones, it's probably a good idea to update loads you use often by going online and seeing what they recommend as book loads do change from year to year with formulas, quality of materials, etc.
