You guys can save me a bunch of time and frustration by giving me some loads for my M54 30-WCF. I'm basically interested in chronographed loads for 170-180 grain bullets at 1,400-1,900 fps and only for now with 5744. I understand that there is some material in Lyman #4 but I don't have a copy. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to share.
Lyman #4 says 18 to 24 grains for a Lyman #311291
The Western Powders manual says:
170gr. RNFP 19.8-22 grains
170gr RNFPGC 18.7-24.3
Good luck with your tests. I tried 5744 for 30WCF and went back to 3031.
Remember the Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
I'd look to the manufacturer's reloading manual (free PDF).
