ruger270Lyman 49th Edition manual
Does anybody have the new Lyman manual? I am trying to determine if it contains any extensive data for the .405 Winchester.
Thanks,
Jesse

AA 2015 (39.8gr to max 51.3gr) 1800-2200fps
IMR 3031 (41.2gr to max 50.6gr) 1800-2100fps
VIHT N-133 (43.0gr to max 52.6gr) 1800-2200fps
