Go back and compare the numbers. Some of those posted loads are BELOW MINIMUM. You want to reduce those by 10% too? You don't seem to be able to understand that posting things in the manner you are doing is dangerous. Safety is the primary issue here, but civility is a close second. It appears from this and from your previous thread that getting in the last word is much more important to you than the safety of the members here. You practice no discretion either in what you post or in the tone of your replies. All three Gunloads forums are supposed to be friendly places where members can learn and exchange data in a safe and civil manner. I think you owe us a collective apology for your mistake and for your attitude, not another snide load of puerile vitriol.

You win. Ill not be back. To the other people on here take anything this nut says with a grain of salt. He has the attitude if he doesnt do it, it isnt safe. That isnt always the case in the real world. Go back and read our other exchange if you havent allready.
Any load data posted by anyone,including me, should always be checked with several different manuals. I would suggest contacting the powder companies if there is any doubt. That is what I do and have done for more than twenty years now. For the beginer I would recomend buying the Lyman
Reloader's Handbook they have a wide variety of different loads and bullet combinations in them.

you are arguing on the same side.
and are correct in that following the books are your best bet.
pointing them in the direction of a powder and letting them figure out what is safe in their gun is the right thing to do.
they could have a ruger....... or something made in 1966, in cambodia.
if they ask for a load you use, give it to them,...with the warning...
teaching new guys is a responsibility also.
Calm down everyone, when you start getting personal it ruins it for everyone and keeps people from sharing their knowledge, which is what this site is all about. I have gained a lot of know how here and really appreciate ALL the contributors. Keep it civil and "can't we all just get along".....Thanks for the advise, I did not want any hurt feelings. Keep shooting and please keep contributing to the site. I have reloaded for 20 years, but have only been casting for a few months, without this site I would still be casing half bootlits and getting really pissed off about it.
Again, thank you to all you guys that help out the newbies, I think I can speak for all of us. It is appreciated!
