ETR7 Load Data

Did you use titegroup data?

For me.....I use TG data all together. And EI also advises that path. So why not use that data? Their website is very limited to a few cal's. TG data is EVERYWHERE for just about EVERY cal/weight/design you can imagine. In every book published. For just about forever.

They recommended TG -10% to start but you know..err..some guys just have to experiment with everything.

I always start at the lowest listing for any powder and work up from there. I know some go for full house data right off the bat. Bad choice sometimes!

Full agreement but since I talked to the company and they said it was slower than titegroup and more towards green dot I didn't know if someone had tried using green dot data to start. I
I'm sitting here waiting for the Fed Ex truck to show up with mine. Says it is out for delivery but with Christmas he is rolling in around 2000-2100

I have used load in and around all the TG min/max data for 9/38/357/40/44SPL/45ACP/45LC with great success. I do not worry about being within a couple 0.2gn of the load. 7 seems to be very forgiving.
