I was going to stick to the load info in the lyman for now and also try some in the winchester book as i have a whole can of IMR4350 and they have load for that.

I use a RCNS RC and prime all loads with my trusty hand primer
I have some primers my dad gave me Federal large and small pistal as well as CCI Bought from Cabellas.
I normaly load in large batches 500-1000 and would use up the feds first but are odd amounts...
