I just bought a Lott and I grabbed one of the free Alliant manuals and it has loads that I want to use. But what I am not used to is that it only lists one load, instead of numerous loads in the same powder/bullet combo like in Hornady's manual. Are the listed loads the maximum loads and that means I should just reduce them ten percent to start off?

I appreciate any help, I read through the manual and I didn't see any guidance. Thanks!

Strawman:

In the Alliant pamphlet I have (copyright 2009), that info is on page 8, under "Warning! - Be Sure To:". And yes, they are max loads, and should be reduced 10% to start.

Have fun with the Lott

remember "book" loads are actually pressure tested, or at least computed, these days!

Thanks Guys. Once the brass I bought on Gunbroker arrives, I will be able to use the new gun.
