Need a bit of help here. Appreciate any suggestions for CB loads for the 325 WSM. Have an 8 mm Loverin designed projectile weighing about 170 grains cast from straight wheelweights..............any ideas?

From the Lyman 49th,

Using a 323470 boolit, which is 165 from Lyman #2 and a 2.590 COAL:

Powder, Starting gr., Velocity, PSI, MAX gr., Velocity, PSI

SR-4759_ 20.5 1668 13,400 31.5 2301 35,900
AA-5744_ 25.0 1744 14,500 36.5 2297 29,000
IMR-4198 25.0 1710 12,500 37.0 2300 26,200
RX7_____ 27.0 1715 12,500 38.0 2274 26,300
N133 ____33.0 1789 12,400 43.0 2252 23,200
H-4895__ 35.0 1729 11,300 46.0 2250 21,800

Their most accurate load was the starting charge of 4198. The ballistic coefficient of the boolit is .187 and has a sectional density of .226

I tried to get everything spaced right so it would be easy to read, but it's a real pain in the butt. If it's too hard to read, I'll just scan the page and post it here in picture format.
