Sorry, as far as I know the IMR data is it. I have the Load books for .30-06 and .243 and the only mention of Remington bullets is the IMR powder section. Winchester bullets are similarly poorly represented as far as load data goes. | ||

what specific caliber are you looking for? here is a very small list from the remington site,cross check this with the powder you might want to use. http://www.remington.com/ammo/reloading/reload_recipes.htm | ||

Dave, my view is that you have to start low and work up no matter what bullet you are using. Reloading data for metallic cartridges using conventional bullets is a rough guide at best. If you had the data for the Remington bullet that you wanted to use, you would still have to go through the process because you could not count on your rifle, cases, primers, and powder lot being exactly the same as those used in working up the data. There also may be some differences in bullets from the same manufacturer in different runs. Since you do have to work up, the process will cover the differences between bullets of different brands of conventional construction. | |||

quote:Hey Dave, You would do well to copy and paste "Leftoverdj's" comments to your webpage in a couple of places. There is a whole bunch of foolishness being spread about by a few folks that there are MUC Loads (Magical, mythical mystical Universal Charges) that work in most all rifles of a specific caliber. That is at best "misleading and wrong" and at worst "Full of Beans". The REAL problem relates to the SAFETY of the beginning reloader buying into this ignorance and then he just starts dumping in the MUC Load "without" working it up from below. There are NO SHORTCUTS to developing a SAFE Load. Best of luck to your webpage. | |||

Dave, You and me had a big arguement about this about 3 or 4 years ago. Remington Core-Loct bullets are made by Hornady.For those of you who don't belive it,that came direct from Steve Hornady's lips. Compare identical weight Hornadys to Remingtons.Very close,almost identical. Just start moderatley,as always,and work your way up.Really,the only bullets that spike pressures way up are Barnes Xs and Nosler Partitions (only sometimes on the Noslers though). Take a cartridge/charge combo that is not insanely hot,and load it with identical weight/style of bullets made by Hornady,Remington,Speer and Siearra.I'd be willing to bet good money,that pressures would be either the same or nearly so. Brian. | |||

All points well taken guys... and you are all correct... but if you look at my post, all I was really asking was if anyone knew of a site, or manual for that matter, that has data derived specifically from Remington bullets other than the limited data that the IMR page has. There does not seem to be such a site... ![[Razz]](images/icons/tongue.gif){kind=icon} | ||
