Loads for sierra 53gr matchkings

Hi, can any of you guys out there that have the latest sierra reloading manual possibly tell me what the starting load and max load is for the 53 gr HP matchking using Lapua brass ( if thats whats listed, but probably not) using cci 400 small rifle primers and loading with VV N133, I dont have this manual yet, but I do have some load info for this combination, just want to see if it matches up.

cheers

scaramanga, it would help if we knew what cartridge you want to load for.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.

These bullets shoot pretty good with reduced loads of 11 grain of Blue Dot or 13 grain of H110. Feels like a Hornet.

Andre,
Where do you find a paper punch that leaves those little lead rings around the hole?

Put your nose to the grindstone, your belly to the ground, and your shoulder to the wheel. Now try to work in that position!
