Reloading Data for Hunting is provided for information only. This loading data has been collected over the years, using firearms that we use for hunting. Some of the data was developed over 25 years ago when loading manuals used hotter charges than they do today. Some of the powder, like Accurate Arms, is produced by different companies and in different countries. Do not think any of these loads are safe in your rifle.
