[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 1559666, member: 8239"] Unless you can find a really old reloading manual, you're probably out of luck in getting data. If I were doing it, and I'm NOT suggesting you do it, I would: 1. Go on the assumption that the powder was intended to almost fill a 30/06 case. 2. Make a test cartridge and shoot it in a 30/06 with a strong action (an Encore or a bolt action). As long as the load was heavy enough to push the bullet out of the bore and not so heavy as to damage the gun, I would have the data needed on firing a single cartridge to proceed with load workup. I definitely would NOT try this in a Garand and once again, what you do is ENTIRELY at your own risk. There was a site that I couldn't bring up today, [url]www.stevespages.com[/url] where you might be able to get this information. It's possible the site is just down for maintenance or perhaps the guy that maintained it has died; in any case, check it again over the next day or two and if it's up, contact the owner thereof. If anyone would know, he would. [/QUOTE]
