[QUOTE="guns are dumb, post: 1420756, member: 5564"] So, new guy to reloading.... I've got Lyman and Hornady reloading manuals, reloading for .357 using 125gr HP-XTP bullets and Vihtavuori N110. The Lyman manual shows the max load as 17.5gr (compressed) with a 38,500 CUP. The Hornady manual shows a max load of 16.1gr with no pressure stated and the Vihtavuori reloading guide on their site shows a max load of 18.4 grains with no pressure stated and a starting load of 16.8gr (above the Hornady max load). I'm starting at 15.5gr, but how do I decide where to stop? Of course, this question isn't just directed at my particular problem, but how do you guys go about making a decision as to where the max load actually is? [/QUOTE]
