RR... I almost NEVER post load data on the errornet, mostly because I don't trust anybody else's load data myself.

I would not have posted the 5.6 gr load if I hadn't checked Alliant's website to confirm that 5.6 gr was a safe load with this bullet, which it is... but it's a MAX load, hardly what most of us want to be using with our soft-shooting wadcutter loads.

This is also a good lesson for me in not trusting the load data on my cartridge boxes. My handwritten 3's and 5's can look a lot alike if I'm writing labels in a hurry (which happens when you're labelling boxes for 1000+ cartridges...). Nothing substitutes for going back to the reload log and checking the numbers.

My apologies to any who may have been misled by my error.
