I've got the 7/8 oz and 1 oz Lee slug molds.
I've searched the forums on my question but to no avail.
I use the Remington STS hulls with HS6 power. The Lee instruction manual specifies a wad that I got plus 38 grains HS6. I did not want to load so heavy and thought that a 10% reduction was safe so I loaded it at 34 grains with the 7/8 oz.
I'm using a Maverick with an 18" barrel and that thing really kicks with this load.
I've not found anything different on the powder manufacturers load data. The Hogdon data is exactly the same as Lee presents. The Alliant page did not seem to have any slug data - just shot.
Anyone with ideas on how much the published load can be reduced and be safe? I believe that with metallic cartridges you are not supposed to go below the minimum.
Am I missing any good sources for slug data that would have a reduced load?
These are specified at 1500 fps.
Thanks
