    Greetings and Thanks @Stag,
    I discovered the Hodgdon data a while back and printed it to go in my .308 Load ring binder. They also did a sheet on Trail Boss data and one on subsonic loads. The options are practically endless. I have found that I need to develop a clear aim in developing loads for a rifle or I can get lost in the options. My Bergara is suppressed and the aim was to develop a low pressure load for casual bush and creek bed hunting and looked to approximate .30-30 performance. The number crunching is done and it now remains to put some cartridges together for testing on the target and chronograph.
    Regards Grandpamac.
