I am loading for a 20 tactical. The only loads I have found on the net are for hodgon powder. I am wanting to try IMR 4198. Where would be a starting point with the IMR with the H4198 loads from 23.3 to 26.2. Is there a formula to find a starting load for the next faster or slower if you know a load for another powder close to it?

There is no reliable formula, and loading data should be obtained from a reliable source before starting. That said, the following may help in finding where to look for data.

IMR 4198 may be a hair faster then H4198, but not by much.

You might also consider trying Ramshot X-Terminator. I use it in my 20BR. It's accurate and very clean burning. If your rifle is destined for a prairie dog town, it's worth checking out.
