Also, Barnes posts their load manual for free online: https://barnesbullets.com/load-data/ Hodgdon's Reloading Data Center is also really useful: https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/- Sheltowee

Mmm... Gen 3 19. Often thought of as the best vintage. -

Yes, kind of, sort of. You can use a like-weighted cup and core recipe for a mono but start at the published starting load. Work up slowly. You will hit pressure earlier with most monos (the Hammers being a notable exception) due to higher bearing surface.- Sheltowee
