With 4895 do not reduce below 65% of case capacity. That is your start load.

A good starting load is right around 30gr.

What rifle are you planning on shooting them out of?

I'll be shooting them out of a bolt action alpine supreme with a mauser type action, made in England it has a very clean bore,its printing nice groups with 110gr. cjhp's 50.8gr imr4895 1.25 @ 100 yds. I just don't know how hot I can go with gc lead boolits.
