A buddy of mine gave me Hornady Interlock 154 g SP bullets (He sold his 7mag) He also gave me a pound of IMR 4831.
I would like to find a load using these 2 items just to start with since they were free.
First. Does anyone have a starter load for this combo that i could try out
Second, Since i already have a the Speer manual which came with the kit, what manual should i now look at that will give me additional diversity in loads?
bullets of different constuctions create differnent pressures, so you really want to do with the mfg reload data for the bullet. In other words, if you loading speer bullets, then speer manual is good. But you wouldn't want to load barnes or trophy bonded bearclaw's with a nosler manual.
Some bullets you can get by with, thin walled typical cup bullets. Like interbonds, or sierra, nosler BT's, I lump these together. But you got to be careful with a few solid shank bullets like barnes or thick walled bullets like swift.
