Well, thanks for your interest.

Type of firearm not really relevant to my question. Expansion check fine if you are working up max loads, I'm not. Chronograph good for seeing how fast you're going, I'm not interested yet. Current reloading books always play it safe in the listed cartridges.

Maybe this isn't best place to put my question - which is a little theoretical but also practical. If a 270 Win load is in the book, it is safe for rifles designed for that cartridge, but can I apply that load to an equally strong 35 Whelen? I think I can, if I work up slowly, but ...

Oh, just we're together, "S.D." is "sectional density".
