Just working up a new load for my son's 336 30-30. I previously loaded 170 grain Sierras with 29.0 IMR 4064. Now, using Speer Hot-Cor 150 gr FN, and trying out IMR 3031.
Is Lyman generally pretty conservative relative to other data? Only happened to notice Lyman is 26.5-28.5 3031 (150 gr RN), whereas Hogdon starts out past the max load for Lyman, 28.7-30.5 (150 Sie FN).
Hadn't noticed this before on other load comparisons. Not sure if it's a general tendency.
