Where can I find current loading data for .480 Ruger ammunition using hard cast bullets. Unless there is detailed data online, I prefer a current reloading manual.
I am particularly interested in powder charge range for each bullet weight to identify my parameters.
1. 325-grain bullet with Unique.
2. 370-grain bullet with 2400.
3. 400-grain bullet with 2400.
4. 420-grain bullet with 2400.

These data are anecdotal -- that is, they have not been rigorously tested. This does not mean they are not safe; almost certainly they are.
What I seek are data that have been tested comparably with that furnished by Hodgdon online. The anxiety level is zero.
While I do not intend to load near maximum, I am aware of potentially dangerous handloads occurring by underloading. Identifying parameters of safety for bullet [weight and material] with powder removes any problem.

I respect the deep concern for safety expressed in your text. You might try an E-mail or phone call to Alliant for a "best-info" answer to your question.
